Kaye,
While it did have that reputation at one time , it has done so much good in the UK , so I'm now grateful you've corrected Angela's misconception .
Tri-Ess and the Beaumont Society have been established in different ways , the BS is a charity set up to support all under the trans umbrella , with or without partners/wives , it also offers very good confidential support for that group .
Sorry Folks -- didnt mean to start a "war".......
Liz,
It was a good question to ask , the forum isn't reality joining something like the Beaumont Society is , many of us need that real contact to help us along the road , the forum can only take us so far .
I was a member of the Beaumont society joining in my late twenties in the 1990's and found it to be a good mix of CD/TV and TS back then.
I met Janett Scott many times and went to some events at her home and am sorry to hear of her passing.
Janett was quite strict on dress codes at her events and IMHO rightly so as partners, wives and family were welcome; it would have been odd and disturbing to find people dressed in fetish type clothing at this kind of event.
I think in some ways this may be where the misconception about being a twin set and pearls club came from.
On a slightly different note although it was over 30 years ago I attended an event wearing a lovely lilac twin set from Evans and wonderful faux pearl neck attire as part of my ensemble.... classic for a Lady in her late twenties and sadly long gone.
RIP Janett and Many Thanks for all your help and support

I am a member of the Beaumont society and joining was one of the best things I have done. From an initial chat on the phone to the regional organiser who helped me feel I was not alone to attending a Beaumont weekend where i was able to dress in public in a very relaxed atmosphere for the first time. I have now attended about four weekends (held in Harrogate) and now feel OK walking around Harrogate and going in a couple of pubs. There are many who are around my age -70 some older some younger. There is no distinction between CD/TV and TS. A very friendly crowd of people. Their website is different to this and I find it interesting and useful, likewise their magazine which is a good read. Unfortunately a lot of the regional organiser positions are vacant but there are members who organise outings and meet ups.
Cheers
Robbie
