The Word's
Very First Transgender Support Web Site
An Introduction
by founder,
Back in
1994 there were no support web sites for the Transgender Community.
In fact, there were barely any private web sites at all! I
always enjoy being first, so I founded this one.
These
days, this site gets about 1,300 unique visitors every single day.
Not bad, considering I haven't been active in the transgender
community since 1997!
Naturally,
a lot of material on this site has aged over the years. But to
be honest, since 1997 I haven't had any desire to update any of it.
So, I present it here in its more or less original form for whatever
value it may still have, and as something of an historic document of
one of my endeavors at that time.
As you
might expect, having transitioned in 1989 and had SRS in January of
1992, most of what's here is way in my past. These days I lead a
life that rarely brings any of this to mind. Not
to say I haven't added anything since then.
Most
notably, in 2005 my life partner had radical feminizing facial
surgery, and I followed suit and did the same in late 2006.
Along the way I documented both of those experiences and added them to
my online transition diary in fifty new chapters peppered with
pictures!
I suspect
I'll continue to add new chapters, essays, or videos from time to time
as other insights and experiences crop up that I think might be of use
and interest to others.
Until
then, I wish you the best for everything you hope to do and be, and
urge you to always remember that Dreams Are The Stuff Reality Is
Made Of.
