which we can give and receive support by sharing
our diverse life experiences as gifted individuals. To help our

common bond that we share as gender gifted people. To further the
ongoing success of the gendered community in achieving a greater
level of acceptance from main stream society as a whole.
WHO WE ARE:
We are a nonprofit support group open to all gendered (transgendered,

spouses, significant others, or friends. We encourage the
attendance of professionals in all fields, or any person who may
want to learn about the transgendered individual, our community,
lifestyle, challenges, and goals.

Our immediate focus is on providing a relaxed, noncompetitive,
informal, and safe atmosphere for any or all members
of the gendered community (M2F, F2M, TS, TV, CD, DQ) regardless
of their age, race, religious affiliation, or sexual
orientation to socialize, exchange ideas and information, and to
provide and receive emotional support.
