Educate Communicate and Inform

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.
