Description: soc.support.transgendered is a forum for the discussion of issues surrounding transgendered behavior, for support and networking of crossdressers, transsexuals, intersexed persons, their mates, friends, and families, and the simply curious. It is intended to foster discussion on a wide variety of topics, ranging from discussion of the perils and benefits of surgery and hormone therapy to makeup tips, and including health- and job-related issues, issues of parenting and of other relationships, and discussion of gender roles and expectations. It is the proper forum for support of transgendered persons, ranging from autobiographies to names and addresses of support groups, surgeons, and commercial outlets friendly to the transgendered community. It may be used for calls for help from those depressed by their inability to live up to the social expectations appropriate to the gender assigned them at birth. It provides a place for discussions of discriminatory legislation, for discussions of the sources of gender identity, and for discussion of the impact of transgendered behavior on everyday life. It is also a place where those who are interested may come to learn what it means to be a crossdresser, transsexual, or intersexed person.
