Please help me create a trans resource
Hi everyone,
My name is Caleb and I'm the president of a newly-formed group which does transgender outreach and education on the Indiana University campus.
I'm creating a brochure which will be similar to the "I think I might be gay/lesbian... now what do I do?" brochure which already exists in IU's GLBT office, but will deal specifically with transgender issues.
What I need is some quotes to use in the brochure on a few topics/questions. If some of you could respond to these, either on this post or by emailing me at dkboycaleb@hotmail.com, that would be really helpful. I just want to put some information out there for kids who are questioning their gender, because I know that a few years ago when I needed something to read, anything which reflected how I felt, there wasn't anything available. Thanks. (P.S. sorry the questions are kind of lame, but I'm trying to keep it in the same format as the other brochure).
What does it mean to be trans?
How did you know you were trans?
How and when should you come out to others?
What struggles have you had to face when coming to accept yourself?
How does sexuality relate to gender identity?
What other advice would you give to someone questioning their gender?
