At The Gender Society we do understand what it can be like as a young person, discovering for the first time that you feel as though you need to be a member of the opposite sex. We have all been there before so you are far from alone.

However, while we understand what it is you are going through, we also know our limitations. It's unfortunate but as our efforts are concentrated elsewhere, we are simply not able to offer the kind of guidance and counseling that you need.

Therefore, we have put together some links to organizations that should be able to help you more than we can...
