SGGURLS NOV 2019 MEET

This lil diary is a canvass for my thoughts, it's probably the only cohesive chronicle of SGGURLS genesis. SGGURLS is a Singapore based umbrella transgender group founded on Oct 31st 2007 by a very unlikely group. SGGURLS started when many didn't want to live under the tyranny of a dictator who ran the only transgender group at that time. A few fun souls got together and won the best dress Halloween contest. When the announcer asked for the group's name, Adaline shouted "SGGURLS". With thunderous applause and cat calls, so it was. In SGGURLS we decided to make things right  We recognize that gender is a spectrum. Each person discovers and develops their own sexuality in their own time and space. Unlike the other group, there's no end destination. A CD is no less than a fully transition woman. Another big difference is that SGGURLS is open to friends and family. Admirers are welcomed.
 
 The Singapore trans scene is underground but vibrant. When I see Becca'Dbus with her Riot, I know the pink in lgbt is healthy. SGGURLS is seeing its millenial sistas step up and take over the reins.

The millenials (minus me):


SGGURLS holds events every month for it's members. To date we've organized about 144 monthly meets, another 44 informal meets. Most the gurls meet regularly. Some of the gurls have been lifelong friends. We rotate venues.
A pic today with friends who I've known for more than ten years. I've not seen Vanessa since Changi. The picture below was taken when phones and cameras live separate lives. 5.5 megapixel was the top camera tech and the debate of film vs digital still raged.

 On Ladies Nite at Lulus, time was just a four letter word. We exchange news from night to morning. The live band packed up, the DJ took over, I am glad to be with my best friend and co-founder of SGGURLS. The photo below of Adaline and I was taken 12 years ago in Backstage Temple street.
This was taken yesterday at Lulus yesterday.
