New - Published July 2011

Trans In The Twenty First Century 
(concerning gender diversity)

Edited by Alice Purnell & Jed Bland

In the thirty or more years that the Beaumont Trust has been listening to and helping transgender people, it has seen many changes. Not only has the distinction between male and female become blurred, but so as has that between the cross dresser and the transsexual.

In this book we are reviewing the situation of trans in all aspects, how the situation has changed in the last 50 years and what may still need to be done.

Published by the Beaumont Trust: write to Beaumont Trust, BM Charity, London, WC1N3XX.

ISBN 978 09521357 7 7 - for price details email beaumonttrust@gmail.com

Transvestism and Cross Dressing.
Towards an Understanding

Edited by Jed Bland

"Why do I like dressing in women's clothes?" "Why does my husband want to dress in my clothes, use my jewellery - my make-up?" These and a host of other questions are asked by transvestites themselves and by their loved ones. Public perceptions are formed by a generally unhelpful portrayal by the media, while textbooks inevitably approach the subject from a pathologising viewpoint.

This book is a collection of articles by professional writers and by participants in this much misunderstood activity. It aims to answer some of the questions in a more detailed manner than is possible on the helpline, while being non-directive and non-judgmental - and without being an apologia.

Chapters include:

The Counselling Directory:   The purpose of the site is ultimately to provide the UK with a huge counselling support network, enabling those in distress to find a counsellor close to them and appropriate for their needs. This is a free, confidential service that will hopefully encourage those in distress to seek help. The website also contains a number of sections on emotional disorders (types of distress section) and provides some useful statistics. Every counsellor on the site who has submitted their profile has either sent a copy of their qualifications and insurance cover to us, or is registered with a professional body online with recognised codes of ethics and practice, this way we can be assured of their professionalism.  www.counselling-directory.org.uk.

Corsetry By Vanessa Hi, I am Vanessa Robbins-Tyers and I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to my service. I have been fascinated by Corsets and Corsetry for numerous years and because of this fascination I have attended several courses and workshops to learn how to make them professionally, which I have now been doing for some time. The Corset is the most fabulous garment a woman can ever wear, it will make you feel fantastic, look sensational and be admired by all who see you, it can be dressed up or down, but is a MUST for every woman's wardrobe. All of the corsets on my site are "Real Corsets" which will change your figure dramatically, they are designed to support the bust and reduce the waist by 2-4 inches, and give you the Perfect Hourglass Figure they are made with the finest of fabrics and to very high standards. You will also find a selection of boned bodices, these are not the same as a corset, but they do support and pull in slightly. If you cannot find exactly what you are looking for, please feel free to email me, with your corset ideas, and I will be able to make it for you, remember at Corsetry by Vanessa anything is possible!
