Transgender Resource Center

 

Basics of this Zone

Transgender can mean many things; transsexual, gender questioning, transvestite, and variations far too diverse to every fully cover. This is an area to learn what you need and share what you know in the hopes we may all understand each other better.

I want to give thanks to Helium and Amanda for this Transgender Resource Center. It is a wonderful way for transgendered people to write and share who we are and what I believe is extremely important is that anyone can come in here and educate themselves about transgenderism. I am excited about this Transgender Resource Center as I believe it will open some doors for a lot of people. Jalene Marie

    Zapata Trial gets underway- Be sure to follow this piece of history

    • A landmark trial, believed to be the first attempted murder prosecution under a hate-crime law that involves a transgender victim will begin this week in Weld County, Colorado. The trial will determine the fate of the suspect in the brutal murder of Angie Zapata, an 18-year-old transgender who was attacked and killed in her Greeley, Colorado apartment last year. The suspect has been charged with first-degree murder and a “bias-motivated” or hate crime, on top of various other charges.
