The internet's truly an incredible invention. Of course you can find anything you want, but ad rolls even help you find sites you didn't even know you wanted. For example, we were paying a visit to our friends over at eTransgender (the same people who brought us this picture) and came across an advert for the Cross Dressing Guide by "Jamie".

The site claims it can help you pass as a genetic woman in just one week! That's right, boy/girls, just one week. But, of course, you have to buy the accompanying book, too. Taken together, you'll learn all sorts of things. For example:

Great! We've always wanted to look like "a slut that you can see at a dance club' - not like those invisible sluts. No, no - when people look at us, we want them to think, "That fucking slut's probably fucked fifteen men in the last hour, at least! I'm going to make it sixteen. That'll show that slutty slut slut."

We're tempted to move to Dallas just to vote for tranny mayoral candidate Jennifer Gails. Sure, she's a homeless veteran and seems kind of like a nutter, but she's got some pretty good ideas. First up: your health. As she says, she wants you to live to be 150. Although, as part of her mission to save our lives, Gail's looking to crack down on drugs. Hmmm, this could get sticky.

Kids these days! You guys may be interested to hear that an Austrian boy started taking hormones at twelve-years old in his effort to become a woman. Or, rather, a girl.

While some families would refuse their child's wishes, dismissing them as part of a larger phase, the boy's parents realized their son would never be comfortable with his biological body. According to an article from Der Spiegel:

At the age of two, Tim tried on his older sister's clothes, played with Barbies and said, "I'm a girl." Her parents thought it was a phase, but at the age of four Tim was still bawling after every haircut. At last he ran into his room with a pair of scissors and hollered that he wanted to "cut off my thing!" — and it was clear to his parents that the problem was serious. From then on, at home, Tim went by "Kim."

Certainly there has been protest, including opposition from the family pediatrician, who insists they're acting a little too hasty. The family, however, maintains they've made the right decision. Now, two years on, "Tim" lives quite happily as "Kim".

Unlike readers on this continent, perhaps Chinese men read FHM for the articles. Either that, or they aren't fazed if a trannie gives them a boner, especially if she looks sexier than most women. Korean actress/singer Harisu certainly is beautiful, and we would never have guessed she used to be a man from these hot photos.

Harisu's cover gives us hope that some day Amanda Lepore will grace the cover of the American version and arouse all of middle America.

Check out some other photos of Harisu after the jump.

Everyone knows the power of film. One need only look at all of the (mostly) positive attention Brokeback Mountain has been giving the gay community. We’d hate to think that the only reason so much attention the media has been giving transgenders lately is due to something other than a certain Desperate Housewife donning a wig and some make-up to play a pre-op in TransAmerica. But, alas, movies are great attention-getters.

Sure we knew that trannies faced discrimination in the world, but we weren’t aware that these hard-working men and women find it hard to just get a job with the man.

Marilyn Robinson turned tricks for almost 20 years before she decided to look for legal employment. She got her GED and, eventually, a job at an insurance company. The first six months went OK, but then a supervisor "thought he had the right to call me RuPaul," she told us. "And I look nothing like RuPaul." Suddenly the women in the office refused to use the bathroom if Robinson was around. She left within a month.

And you thought your 9-5er was bad. Some trannies can’t even get their uppity co-workers to share a bathroom let alone a printer.

Amanda Lepore, everyone’s favorite plastic tranny, is one-upping our girl RuPaul and going plastic once more. This time instead of having work done on face, she’s getting a doll version of herself. And there is not just one, but three in this series: Out Gear by David Barton doll, Couture Baby doll, and Fairytale Glam doll. No word on if they come with their own collagen lip injections.

But if anyone outside of New York wants them, they’re going to have to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land of trannies, NYC. They’re going to be available exclusively at Jeffrey.

There’s been a drastic rise in trannie discrimination this week. We don’t know if it’s due to an actual increase of unfair treament against transgenders or just that this stuff is only now beginning to make the news.

The latest bit comes from the deep South. And even though this tranny had her own hose lopped off, she still enjoys working with them.

Fire Capt. Jamie Faucon has filed a grievance against Knoxville Fire Chief Carlos Perez and her supervisor, Mark Foulkes.

She accuses them of depriving her of a take-home car, of reassigning her and cutting out her overtime because she is a transgendered firefighter.

Faucon also says in her grievance Foulkes used incorrect gender terms when referring to her in conversations.

We don’t think this tranny is in her 70’s like the other two discriminated women we reported about earlier this week. One thing they all have in common are, though, are some bad ‘dos. Let’s hope they’re not getting their hair style tips from watching TransAmerica.

After the accolades and box office success of Brokeback Mountain and Transamerica, everyone is jumping on the gay movie bandwagon. Catherine Zeta-Jones is about to play famed British model/trannie, April Ashley on the big screen. Though we can’t wait to see Brad Pitt go all homo on screen (this time without the fangs and Mr. Katie Holmes-to-be by his side), we didn’t expect Zeta-Jones to go all tranny so soon after an Oscar win. What, no post-Oscar win flop a la Halle Berry’s Catwoman? That would seem to be the normal path for a recent winner.

A quick check over at IMBD shows that she already has a head start in the queer movie trend. She's starring alongside Alan Cumming, who plays a cabaret singer, in Coming Out. This is good. We’re sure Cumming has his share of tranny friends he can forward Catherine’s way for inspiration. Or maybe she should just call Felicity Huffman for some tips.

Not to be outdone by Matrix director, Larry Warchowski’s recent tranny-transformation and Hugh Grant’s “pull the car over on Sunset Blvd. and talk to the nice lady” past, director Lee Tamahhori, of XXX: State of the Union and Die Another Day has melded the best of both scandalous worlds.

This is what happens after you give direction to Halle Berry in a film:

“City attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said the director was dressed in a black wig and off-the-shoulder dress when he approached an undercover police officer in Hollywood on Jan. 8 and offered to perform sex for money. He was arrested for investigation of soliciting an act of prostitution and loitering with the intent to commit prostitution, both misdemeanors. “

The recent rash of mega-directors turned trannies has got us a little worried. Who’s next? We can maybe deal with Quentin Tarantino in a dress but if we have to witness a mug shot of Steven Spielberg with smeared make-up and a lopsided blonde wig, let’s just say we’re gonna’ have to bill the studio for our therapy bills.
