You either are or are not born transsexual. Most transsexuals are born male and change to female, although there are many more females coming forward to transition to male. We have both MtF and FtM members in our group. Transsexuals and transgendered people suffer from hate crimes at a higher rate than any other group in society. We advocate legislative acts that prohibit and prosecute those that commit such acts against society.
Transsexuals have a diversity of sexual orientations, some homosexual, heterosexual and bi-sexual.
Many MtF become loving mothers and wives, and many FtM become loving fathers and husbands. Read the Healthy Place Journals to see what the experiences of others have been. We have approximately 350 members from around the world, in the fields of psychiatry, endocrinology, surgery, law, psychology, sociology, and counseling. Come on in, wipe the sweat off the monitor, and check us out. This electronic journal will be an important vehicle for the transmission of scholarly work in the area of transgenderism.
