LoL. Well, you are pretty much the ultimate Fan so I suppose that makes sense . Have fun with it ... doesn't have to be serious questions. Had some fairly good zingers come in so far.

New blog is now up at transformationusa.com ... A bit sparse at the moment but will be featuring some teases from upcoming issues as well as opinions, articles, and other miscellaneous stuff related to the TG world. Come check it out!

I haven't had the time to sit down and read the current issues yet, featuring Sonique Kylie Love but she seems like quite the interesting person so I'm looking forward to reading the article. Anyway, I know I've been sparse posting here for a while... just been super busy trying to get things kicked off and started on the right foot as well as keeping my own site updated! Busy busy!

For those of you who I've said I would contact regarding articles or have contacted me... haven't forgotten. I've got a whole list of people. Just meeting the deadlines for current projects to be wrapped up.

Thanks!

Bella,
I can totally understand where you are coming from. Even after two years as editor I am still trying to get a good grasp on who we are and what we should be for our readership, so maybe you can help us out. What would YOU look for in a TS/TG focused magazine? What would encourage you to buy/read it? This is a very diverse and fascinating community so I'm sure I won't be able to capture every eye but the way I see it Transformation is a publication for Tgirls and their admirers. In such we try to include informational editorial content as well as sexy profiles of ladies in the industry.
When it all began under Jeri Lee the magazine focused mainly on crossdressing as that was Jeri's tendency, so there were dressing/hair/makeup tips, event coverage, interviews, etc...after a while it began to get more and more focused on porn and hardcore content, greatly limiting distribution outlets and alienating some readership. I hope to find a balanced middle ground in order to show the world just how beautiful, stong, and dynamic this community is!

That's exactly it. I see girls whom I know on your covers and think, "well, maybe I should consider submitting my name for consideration for a shoot," but your tagline is 'men changed into females,' and contains a lot of articles that cater more to that fetish aspect of the community, as opposed to the transsexual community. We are not 'men changed into females;' we were male-bodied people turned into women, and some into females (post-op). This terminology is too vague (as well as inaccurate) and creates the appearance that TV/CD people and TS people are the same and have mostly overlapping interests, when that clearly isn't the case.

As to my suggestions for reconciling this? To be honest, I have ideas, but I'm currently not in a financial position to offer them for free.
