This page includes a brief description of each listed site, plus a brief indication of which genders of the trans community are represented on each page. We use the following abbreviations:
DK = Drag King
DQ = Drag Queen
CD = Crossdresser
2S = Two-Spirit
MTF
= Male-to-Female
FTM = Female-to-Male
BG
= Bi-gendered
3rd = Third Sex/Gender
SO = Friends, Family, Partners
IS
= Intersexed
TS = Transsexual
TG = Transgendered (inclusive of all)
So a page with content that is primarily about the spectrum of FTMs would read: FTM-DK-CD-TS-3rd
We hope this is helpful in finding pages that contain what you're looking for. We don't intend to exclude or use language that offends. If you can think of better ways to describe various elements of trans communities, we welcome your suggestions.
We welcome your suggestions for links, especially links to resources in and near British Columbia. Please email suggestions for links to: communications@transalliancesociety.org
