Joannas Laws of Tranny Forums
The first law of tranny forums states that within a day of a tranny forum opening, someone will kick off a TV vs TS argument.
This one was about why there was a TS category in the forum.... cue my first use of my new moderatingy powers in locking the thread.
For those that can't be arsed to read it, here's a RL equivalent.
"Well... I was really pissed off yesterday. I went into Waterstones and they had separated all the books out. Did you know they had the audacity to put MY Science Fiction and Fantasy books in a separate area to all the Crime novels. Like those gumshoe fans are somehow better than us sci-fi readers. Makes me sick that there should be such discrimination. I mean we are all book readers aren't we? And don't get me started on those feckin Non Fiction bastards......"
Oh and the second rule is that someone will post about Tranny rock songs....
:-)

Tranny songs is the third post, I believe, Jo... the second is, where is everyone in the tranny world going that weekend, and can I go?

LOL, I read the first half of your post, then went to the forum. I was about to come back and comment "someone's started a bloody tranny rock songs thread too!" but i see you've already noticed. :-)

Just be grateful that nobody has (as yet) decided to resurrect that other old favourite: "labels"

Man I Feel Like...
A double-decker bacon sarnie, white bread, butter, hold the ketchup.
That is how it goes, isn't it?

How about having a group banging of heads together, on the off-chance it might knock a bit of sense into some of them? Just a thought...

Hey Joanna, I really loved the first half of this. The RL version really shows the logic(?) employed.
The Tranny Songs bit:
Perhaps FAQ's might help as the topics tend to be cyclical.

I did. So What? Someone had to! We don't all like bloody disco and bloody dana international and bloody dance music.
It's the law. Joanna said so!
Yelling thru a Marshall stack...

LOL.. thanks Julie
It's more of a running joke between me and Becky that on any tranny forum, within a day and a half has a tranny rock post....
I think similar to the Law of Car Tape Players (as postulated by Pratchett and Gaiman in Good Omens) that any tape left in a car long enough will morph into Queens Greatest Hits.
And yes... I'd rather have rock than any other kind of music ;-)
