ANOTHER TRAVELLING SECTION ON TGIRLFORUMS

[Tia Phoenixx]

I think, it will be GREAT if we add one more travelling section on this site (besides travelling girls), so all the members can post their experience with tgirls overseas (their lifestyle, the bars, meeting points, etc).

I (who love travelling) will definitely post in that section regularly

Here is one for Istanbul

Vicinity of Beyoglu and Taksim districts is also the center of drag-queens, transvestites and transsexuals of Istanbul. The transvestites and transsexuals mostly live on prostitution as there is a considerable demand for them due to the 'bisexual' culture of the country. The most preferred way is being a transvestite. Although they are un-cut transvestites use woman hormones, have silicon tits, undergo esthetic operations and epilating.

HENGAME : 01:00 -05:00
Istiklal Caddesi Sahne Sokak No: 6 Galatasaray, Beyoglu. Across The Galatasaray Lisesi (High school). Entrance is from the street next to Cite de Pera (Cicek Pasaji). It's inhabited mainly by transsexuals and few gay. Hengame literally means "chaos" in Turkish.

1001 PUB MARILYN : 23:00-02:00
Address: Siraselviler Caddesi, Near Dilson Hotel (Generally known as 1001, 'bin-bir')
The most senior and well-known transgender club of Istanbul. Close to Taksim Square, near Romanian Consulate.

NO NAME : 24:00-04:00
Address: Tarlabasi Avenue. Across the street from flower shops at Taksim Square. This place is the most popular transgender club and can also be visited by gay-men comfortably to see the colorful life of Turkish transvestites and transsexuals.

CABARE 33 : 24:00-04:00
Istiklal Caddesi, Ogut Sokak (First left from Imam Adnan street)
Google Map locating Ogut Sokak (street)

EGE 97 : 24:00-04:00
Address: Istiklal Caddesi, Ogut Sokak (First left from Imam Adnan street)
This is one of the senior and popular of the Istanbul's transvestite clubs.

PINK BAR: 24:00-04:00
Address: Istiklal Caddesi, Ogut Sokak (First left from Imam Adnan street)
Pink is a comparatively new transgender club on the same street with Ege 97

SAHRA BAR: 24:00-04:00
Address: Istiklal Caddesi, Sadri Alisik Sokak. Sahra is comparatively cheaper and mostly populated by young ghetto boys who like transgenders as well as few gay men who like such boys.

A sad story about being gay,tgirl, and TV in Turkey...


Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals are Subjected to Ill-Treatment and Torture through Police Raids in Gay and Transvestite-Transsexual Places

We, as the Commission for Monitoring Human Rights of LGBTT Persons and Law, had stated in our press release on 15 June 2007 that we are concerned about an increase in violations targeting LGBTT persons as a result of the amendments made in Police Duties and Authorities Law?

We had declared that the right to life, the right to security and freedoms, the right to privacy of home, the right to privacy and the right to association would be violated more with the amendments made in Police Duties and Authorities Law?

Even before 24 hours after the press release, the police raided gay and transvestite bars in Istanbul.

On 16 June 2007, police officers from Istanbul Beyoglu Police Department raided two different places which are mostly visited by homosexuals and transsexuals. Individuals were expelled from the bar with threats of pepper spray and batton and some of them were harassed with battons and subjected to ill-treatment. When individuals who were forcibly expelled from the bar responded with clapping after they were asked to dissolve, the police harassed them with battons. Later, the police went hunting for transvestites and homosexuals and they attacked on the transvestite and homosexual persons they have noticed.

We Call LGBTT Persons who were Subjected to Ill-Treatment and Torture to Seek Their Rights!

As Kaos GL, Lambdaistanbul and Pink Life organizations we will give all kinds of legal support to those who were subjected to insult, violence, and ill-treatment by the police on 16 June 2007 evening. If we do not seek for our rights as LGBTT individuals, the attitudes of the perpetrators will become tougher.

We call authorities to take action!

We call the Human Rights Advisory Board of Istanbul Governorship, Istanbul Public Prosecutors? Office, the Parliamentary Commission on Human Rights Monitoring, and the Prime Minister?s Council of Human Rights to investigate, search and monitor the human rights violations against LGBTT persons. We will not be quiet against being prevented from our basic rights of being a human with any arbitrary practices. Public bodies working in human rights bodies must quit ignoring violations against us.

We will not be quiet for human rights violations against LGBTT persons!

I agree! I have had the opportunity to go to some great places in New York, San Francisco, London, Amsterdam and Buenos Aires, and would be more than happy to share more experiences on those places, and get some tips for other trips I am planning on taking.
