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.
