Late T Girls

[TopHeavyCutie]

Whats up gang,

Does anyone have, or be intrested in compiling some sort of list of Late(Psssed Away) T girls.


To maybe be used as a memorial sticky type thread or something.


It gets kinda hard getting to the know all these girls....only to find find out they are no longer around anymore


Feedback Welcome.

Good thread, THC, and an admirable idea.

There is a Day of Remembrance (Which I have naturally spaced. ) wherein LGBT people are memorialized (Many because of unfortunate/violent deaths such as Brandon Teena, Gwen Arujo, Matthew Sheppard, etc.). Though I don't think there is one specific to the TS/TG culture.

One of the saddest things I've learned in my time on TS forums is the "50/30 Rule" that sez that 50% of the gurls we see in the mainstream culture (I don't think it applies to the 'stealth' gurls, though it may) will pass before they reach the age of 30 (Primarily from, to put it in a polite turn of phrase, 'work related misfortune'). I'm glad to say that I know a couple that have broken this 'rule' (Or may just be part of the other 50%), but far too many prove it as well. If recent memory serves, that number would include Lisa Kage, J'Lo, and Camilla de Castro.

For my own contribution to this memorial list, two names come up from my sordid past and my first sightings of T-gurls in the sex industry: Morelle Dekeig (Sp?) and Julie Bond. Those memories go back some years (1980's?) and don't go beyond the adult entertainment industry (As I only came to know TS's personally in the late 80's and 90's and they would fall under the 'stealth' definition).

Nice idea mystique was compiling a list before she left the board,its good to keep those who past away in our hearts so they are never forgotten.

Any word on Duda Little?

I miss the first TS I remember seeing Leilani May she rest in peace.

I guess the one that I felt the most was Susan Shah, because it seemed like her life was coming together with her movie, "Step Ahead." I guess a ~10 year battle with HIV lead to her depression and suicide. RIP

It makes me almost wanna cry.

All these young women for which whom had so much going for them in life. On top of their game. Now just gone.

Life is a bitch when it wants to be.

I've actually been working on a list/rememberence which will be called "Fallen Angels & Forgotten Devils" which will be for the models and photographers that have worked with us over the years. Only I keep procrastinating as I do a few and then get too sad about it.

It will be linked from Shemale Yum but it won't be in the members section - so probably link it from Grooby.com also.

Duda Little is fine by the way.
