Mid-Month Social
As a result of our questionnaire mailing to several San Francisco venues.
We have decided to hold the Mid Month at the Coco Club. The Coco club is
located at 139 8th street, but the entrance to the club is around the corner
on Minna. This is a club Darcy talks about in the Jan 98 newsletter, if
you would like to read more about it. Debbie and I were there Wednesday
the 29th of July, and it looks like it would make an interesting mid-month.
We have had six very positive responses to our questionnaire. All indicating
they would like to have us there more often, so I plan to have us visit
all of them.

Education Seminar: Feminization of the Face
by Dr. Douglas Ousterhout, M.D., D.D.S., F.A.C.S.
Looking feminine, appearing as a female, is of course extremely important
to you. First impressions are often made based just on your face.
That which is seen in an initial contact is what frequently defines you.
It establishes not only just who you are but frequently what you are as
well. As a transsexual, perhaps nothing is more important to you than appearing
sexually as you feel emotionally. Facial feminizing surgery can help bring
these two together.
Many of the aesthetic surgeries Dr. Ousterhout performs involve changing
facial contours, to modify the basic bony support configuration of the
face. Surgeries such as a rhinoplasty (nasal surgery), chin, cheek, and
forehead modifications (either reduction or augmentation), and modifying
the angle of the lower jaw have frequently been completed for patients
from around the world. These procedures reduce the differences between
a male and a female skull, and assist in changing one from from distinctly
male to female. Dr. Outsterhout is also happy to work with those
who wish to be feminized, to any degree, but are not planning on
genital reassignment surgery.
Dr. Ousterhout was certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
in 1974 and has been in the practice of Plastic Surgery in San Francisco
since then. He has fellowships with 18 medical societies, is and has been
on the board of many plastic surgical societies, has helped found one medical
journal and has been on the editorial board of four different plastic surgery
journals. He is on the Advisory Committee for ÒRecommended Guidelines
for Tansgender CareÓ, AEGIS. In addition to holding staff
memberships at several hospitals, he has published scores of scientific
papers and the medical textbook ÒAesthetic Contouring of the Craniofacial
SkeletonÓ.
Before-and-after slides of some of his patients will be shown side-by-
side during his lecture, followed by a question and answer period. When
you see his presentation, you'll understand why Dr. Douglas Ousterhout
is known by transgendered people around the world. Dr. Ousterhout's helpful
staff may be contacted to arrange a confidential consultation in his
private office at the San Francisco Institute of Plastic Surgery at
Davies Medical Center in San Francisco. Telephone: 415-626-2888.
1 PM, Upstairs at Kimo's, Polk & Pine Sts., SF. Donations appreciated.

End Of Month Social
Well we were planning to do the Big Shew this month but logistical
difficulties have got in the way. So we will be meeting at Charpes for
the End of Month Social. I don't have a theme yet but I will try to come
up with something before the social. Don't be surprised if there is a new
name on the restaurant. I hear they are changing the name. Charpes is located
at 131 Gough (about a block north of Market).
