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.
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-nonconforming people,
transvestite, consciously androgynous people and the term
gender dysphoria is often used by practitioners to explain these
tendencies.

Latest
developments in the world of transgender research.
The way we understand transgender medicine, sociology
and government policy has been moulded and formed based
on the 'current best evidence'.
As this evidence is
subject to change it is important for the Transgender
Researcher to be aware of these developments and
integrate them into their practice or knowledgebase.
