i used to love TX, first few times i went ( still do in a way) and as connie says its a great place to hook up with friends that i seldom see now that i no longer reside in the smoke! however the 'music' has become so dire of late ( like why do they assume ALL trannies listen and want to dance to 'tack'? one more rendition of 'its raining men' 'I will survive' or village peeps 'YMCA' and i swear ill commit hari kiri in my heels on the dance floor in front of everyone! a tgirl friend of mine once said " not doing TX anymore trouble with it is its full of trannies all trying to 'outdress' each other" i think thats not entirely fair as for me perhaps the cool thing about it is that it IS full of like minded trannies, and that equals a fun night with minimal hassle and a club full of gorgeous outfits to look at and admire...cos we do like to admire each other i feel:)

I see TX as a cool way to hook up with friends, have a good natter and dance lke a nutter (apologies for my dancing last Saturday).
I think it is a superb venue and those that moan about it seem to think that you aren't properly out unless you are surrounded by the rest of the general public.
Also, even though I didn't debut there, my first trip there was the first time I had walked down a (fairly) busy street and the first time i had eaten in a normal resturant.
And Lisa good luck with yout debut. The nerves will dissapear as soon as get to your venue and start dancing...or drinking...er or both.

My first time out is coming soon and I couldn't even being to see any venue that caters to us as an extention of the closet! I am a mixed bag of nervious and excited knowing that I will be 'out' in public for the first time for people to see.

Totally agree Becky.

Vicky, Jasmine and the team do a great job. One of the few places you're almost guaranted to see a familiar face. And a great place to meet new people.

And just because its a venue which is catering specifically for trannies doesnt mean its not still scary as hell when you're starting out. It might be totally supportive in the club, but you've still got to make that journey to the club in the first place. And I for one used to find that seriously scary.

And as to the coming out thing. I dont see going to a mainsteam club as being any more "Out" then going to TX. To me being Out is about being open with the people in your life about the fact that you're a trannie. Being visible in your social life is a big step in that direction, but strangers in a club, are still strangers whether its TX or somewhere mainstream.
