Glad you stopped by our page! We're the Cornbury Society, a social, educational and support group for crossdressers based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

We welcome all who choose to dress opposite from their birth or anatomical gender, without regard for your reasons for doing so or how often you do so. We also welcome your spouses and significant others and others in the community who support you.

Our site is for the information and education of the browsing public, for people looking for resources on gender identity and related issues and for communication with our club membership. If you're looking for pornography there are thousands of sites available to you, but this isn't one of them. That said, this site does deal with the subject of crossdressing and that may be offensive to some. Should you choose to stay, please read on with an open mind.

We're always looking for new members and for ways to reach out to support the closeted, the timidly emerging and the out-and-proud crossdressers in our community.

Interested in membership? Please look at Joining Cornbury for more information.

Minor appearance changes

The Cornbury site now has a somewhat larger typeface and some other cosmetic changes as well. Don't worry - it's the same site! Hopefully you'll find it a little easier to read.

Open Meetings - how they might work

Since rewriting the poll about open meetings, I've noticed a much greater response. On behalf of the executive who has to deal with these things, thank you. It seems a little more explanation is warranted, however, so people know exactly how this would all work in practice.

First, a bit of terminology. "Cornbury member" means a member in good standing, personally screened by a member of the executive before joining. "Site member" means anyone who has visited the Cornbury site and has been interested enough to create themselves an account. "General public" means pretty much everyone.

Newer, Better, Faster, Smarter. Smaller.

On Friday 25 June, your resident pretty face, a.k.a. geek - or is that geekette? - upgraded the old Cornbury server. If you've visited the site before, you've known and complained about how slow and unresponsive it was. But if you're reading this now, you'll already have noticed the biggest improvement.

SPEED.

The site is now about 15X faster than before, with much faster image display and page delivery. We're also saving about 0.25kWH energy!

How DID she do it, you ask?

who would you like to be ?

July 2010 issue of Vanity Fair reports a poll done through CBS which included the question:

If you could live in a movie for one day, whose life would you want to live ?

The choice of eight included three females;

Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City

Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman's character) in Casablanca

Lara Croft in Tomb raider.

4% of male respondents chose Carrie.

3% of male respondents chose Ilsa

1% of male respondents chose Lara.

That's 8% of males wanting female roles. Pretty good, eh ?

Open Meetings

In 1989, when Cornbury was formed, there was a great need for anonymity, confidentiality and secrecy. Hence meeting locations were not disclosed to non-members and only members could attend.

Now, in 2010, there is much greater acceptance of gender diversity and there seems to be less need for secrecy.

In the spirit of sharing knowledge, experience, insights and of course fun, the Cornbury executive is proposing that all Cornbury meetings be advertised publicly on our site. Anyone would be welcome; non-members would pay a drop-in fee.

For some the need to remain closeted is still paramount, of course and this must be balanced with their need for information, socialisation and sharing. We would consider a few meetings whose date and topic would be advertised publicly but whose location would only be disclosed by RSVP.

There's a poll on our home page; please login and vote. If you have comments, please use the add comment link below.

Reflections on Full-Time

As many dear readers will know, I have begun the journey to transition. Well, perhaps it's more like starting on a major leg of that journey; transition for me really began when I came to the realisation (admitted to myself?) that I am indeed transgender. I'm not in this just for the clothes, just for the thrill, just for the excellence of the crossdressing craft, or indeed "just for" anything. I, as many transgenders will understand, am truly Stephanie at my centre.

Is anyone there?

It is most disappointing that this site has so few people responding.

Ann Garvald Blog --The Book That Changed My Life

If this was Readers Digest, a title like the one above would almost certainly suggest an article about The Bible. Well, that’s not the case here. Not that I have anything against The Bible, although I do wish that the born-again types who have hijacked the name “Christian” would pay more attention to Christ’s message of love and tolerance in the New Testament and less to a God of vengeance and retribution that they seem to think is the only message in the Old Testament.

Shirley MacLaine died today in a freak psychic collision today. Two freaks in a van [Oh no!! It's the Copyright Police!!] Her aura-charred body was laid to rest after a eulogy by Jackie Collins, fellow member of SAFE [Society of Asinine Flake Entertainers]. Excerpted from some of his more quotable comments: "Truly a woman of the times. These times, those times..." "A Renaissance woman. Why in 1432..." "A man for all seasons. Really..." After the ceremony, Shirley thanked her mourners and explained how delightful it was to "get it together" again, presumably referring to having her now dead body join her long dead brain.
