The Transgender Zone
supports those who feel they are confused about their
gender, those who are looking for support for someone
who is transgendered, and health and social care
professionals who want to learn more about the subject.
We work to educate those who are living with gender dysphoria and increase awareness about this and other
gender identity issues. Much of the involvement in this
site involves the sharing of knowledge in our library
and Bulletin Board. We are the custodians of the
transgender media archives and regularly comment and
report on media related issues that affect trans people.
In addition to a bulletin
board, the website provides a list of helpful links,
transgender law, books, studies, medical articles,
diagnostic criteria, and medications relating to
transgender needs.
We concentrate on UK
based support (see our Venue/ practitioner Guides) and
medical and health resources that you are likely to
encounter in the UK. Any advice we give in the Forums can
be generalized internationally, however our experience is
in UK care, law, information and NHS specific problems. We
hope you will find this site supportive! - Tzoneteam

The term
transgender refers to someone who considers that they do
not identify strictly to one gender or the other,
identifying themselves as neither fully male, nor female.
The term 'transgender'
includes a number of sub-categories, which, among others,
include transsexual, cross-dresser,
gender-non conforming people, transvestite,
consciously androgynous people and the term gender dysphoria
is often used by practitioners to explain these tendencies.
