The Saint Louis Gender Foundation (StLGF) is a resource group for crossdressers, transgenderists, transsexuals, androgynous individuals, and those who care about them. The organization reaches out to all gender conflicted adults and significant others regardless of race, religion, biologic sex, marital status, or sexual orientation. By providing a nurturing atmosphere, we encourage personal growth and,self-acceptance, and provide opportunities for making new friends.
".. StLGF has given me a place to grow, learn, and play. lt's allowed me to make friends who know the real me..."
The StLGF was formed in October 1984 as a social club. Today it continues to focus on the development of individual members while also pursuing specific goals within the gender community and outreach to the community at large.
The StLGF supports its members through private social gatherings and educational activities, and by networking with similar organizations throughout North America. The meetings give members the chance to interact with others in a non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere. Activities are planned for each meeting with several parties, banquets, and fashion shows scheduled during the year.
A bimonthly newsletter keeps members, supporting professionals, and other organizations abreast of our activities. It keeps members informed about transgender-related activities in the community and elsewhere in the country, and helps members identify supportive businesses, clubs, and medical and legal professionals in the St. Louis area. The StLGF also maintains an extensive library of books, literature, and video tapes for its members.
Administrative and community outreach activities are handled by an elected board of directors and an advisory council that includes the organization' s past presidents.
Where do we meet?
The StLGF meets once a month on a Saturday evening at a safe and secure location in the St. Louis metropolitan area. After each meeting members usually adjourn to local clubs and restaurants friendly to crossdressers. Interested members can also participate in a variety of other club sanctioned outings, as well as trips to regional and national transgender meetings. No official meetings are held during July or August.
Every possible precaution is taken to insure our members the privacy and security they need. Changing facilities are provided for individuals who are unable to dress or makeup at home.
