Transpitt was conceived in 1983 at a crossdressers weekend in the
Pocono Mountains. In a small resort cabin came three individuals, all from Pittsburgh. They had never met before. However in the few days a lasting friendship began and from that early association sprang the thought - the idea- that a crossdesser club should be started. Johnnie D. came back to Pittsburgh with a plan and determination to organize Transpitt. She had assistance of several others who helped to find a location in which to meet. They began the task of attracting members, through word of mouth and limited form of advertising. One of those early founders and assistants is still active in the club, Kathy M.. The club has gone through the growing pains of a young organization. At first, meetings were held in the second floor rooms of the Gay Community Center in Wilkinsburg and for a time only five individuals would come together once a month. Transpitt has also been the host city for the BE ALL convention in 1990, 1994 & 1998. At present the club has an active membership of 85 members. Transpitt is a group of very special people, all having feelings much like your own. |
