The lack of appropriate social, professional and medical specialized services for people who start their path to transition is not news, so it's always good to point out groups and organizations that are flourishing and serving the trans community well. Tranz-Central Coast, located in San Luis Obispo, California, started out as a peer support group 13 years ago, but it has broadened its mission to help create a network of therapists, doctors, as well as provide outreach to educate the public.

    The group highlights its new mission Saturday with "An Afternoon of Awareness," a free event aimed at promoting public discussion about transgender and transsexual issues. Part of Central Coast Pride, it's co-sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance of the Central Coast. "We're really trying to reach out to the community and educate the community," longtime member Doug Heumann said.
