Hey, um, all my transgendered friends and whoever.

[conuly]

Over somewhere else, somebody randomly asked about transgender issues. She wants to start a discussion on transgenderism in a place where very few, if any, of the posters are trans. She read an article.

And these are all very nice people who go out of their way to be polite (it's one of the few nice forums on the internet, seriously), but I can just see the massive problems that will occur when a few more people comment there.

Now, I went to google, and I *always* go to google, but I don't want to end up sharing That One Site That Gets Everything Wrong, right? And I don't want to trust my own words, either. So if anybody has any good, concise websites I can link to, I'm sorry for imposing, go tell me. Otherwise, I'll just go through google, one by one.

Ask lemarmot tell her I sent you.

Well, I could go bug some people I know in their journals, but I don't want to, it seems unfair.

I wouldn't offer if she wasn't okay with it. :D

Hola, I realised I hadn't heard from you, so I thought I'd pop over here and share this really nice resource list I stumbled across today:
http://genderkid.wordpress.com/links/#gen

It's a lot of info to take in, but depending what the focus of the discussion is, there's a lot of info that could be relevant. If you give me more of an idea of the scope of it, I can advise further on specific links - I have read some but not all of them.

Well, aside from my normal reticence when talking to people I don't know in their own space, the thread actually had no fail at all. I mean, it was all people understandingly going "Well, it seems strange to me, but I'm sure I would get it if I were trans and it's unfortunate that there's so much discrimination". So I didn't feel the need to share any sort of links after all, which was a massive relief.

Not a trans person, but shakesville is a great resorce for all sorts of issues, and they've been running a series on transgenderism.
