Expansion of T-Vox: Now For Friends and Family Too

[nobmouse.livejournal.com]

Hello.

Following discussions with the other admin for T-Vox and a few other people who have been expressing dissatisfaction with some support groups for friends and family of transpeople, we've spent some time expanding the forum section of T-Vox so we can now accommodate support and resources for the friends and family of people who are GenderQueer, Intersexed or Transsexual.

The new support system is separated from the support for GQ/IS/TS people in order to allow everyone to have a safe space to talk and ask for help in, without fear of saying something that could offend (because we all know there are times we really need to get something off our chest and it could be taken the wrong way) but we've also accomodated a joint area so everyone on the forum can talk, share experiences and support one another regardless of what brought them there.

So if you think this new resource would help you, or you know someone who might find it useful, please feel free to sign up.

Thanks for listening.

Hullo all

I don't know how this community treats introductory posts but since I'm joining I thought it best to stop by and give everyone a wave. I am an astronomer by interest, which I pay to study, and a writer by passion, which I pay others to study. I am also at a loss for further words right now and so I conclude this hasty introduction by saying I am seeking something undefined and hope to find some happy part of it in this community.
