Resource: 2013 Transgender Conference Calendar
Posted: February 26, 2013 Filed under: Resources | Tags: community, conferences, events 6 Comments »| Contributor: Zaac |
Conferences and retreats can provide great opportunities for fostering connections, sharing information, developing leadership and advocacy skills, furthering your knowledge of self and developing lasting relationships with others.
Below is a list of transgender and trans-inclusive LGBT conferences/retreats* in 2013 that offer workshops and information for transmen, their friends, families, providers, and and/or allies. Some of the conferences may have already come and gone, but I wanted to include them here so you can prepare for next year if something piques your interest.
If you know of any conferences not listed here (especially those in rural US areas and those outside of the US), please leave a comment below so we can add them to our list. I’ll also update this post periodically as dates are announced for additional conferences.
Happy travels!

TSSG’s mission is to provide transsexual and transgender individuals with the ability to select the right surgeon for them. Reviews are collected by and for the community to help educate about available doctors, what they offer, and their requirements for surgery.
TSSG also includes ideas for how to afford SRS (sex reassignment surgery), FFS (facial feminization surgery), mastectomy, and breast implants.
Visit TS Surgery Guide online to learn about options for surgeons. And, if you do have a review or a surgeon to add, post to the site or email info@tssurgeryguide.com. Contributing to collaborative sites run by and for the trans* community helps keep vital and relevant information available for us all!
Resource: Women’s International Pharmacy Androgel Alternative
Posted: February 4, 2012 Filed under: Advice, Injection Alternatives, Resources | Tags: androgel, medical, money, testosterone, testosterone-cream Leave a comment »Interested in Androgel but can’t afford it? Here’s a resource to consider. The Women’s International Pharmacy (WIP) is an online pharmacy that describes itself as providing “Custom Compounded Bioidentical Hormone Compounds for Men and Women”. This pharmacy was recommended to me by a doctor while I was seeking Androgel. I was informed that WIP carries its own testosterone cream compound that is similar to Androgel — but can be more affordable out-of-pocket.
Resource: The Safe2Pee Project
Posted: December 21, 2011 Filed under: Advice, Bathrooms 101, Resources | Tags: bathrooms, community, safety, trans-projects, urinals Leave a comment »Given the recent Tip Series on Bathrooms, I wanted to put a plug in here for a website that I think has such a great concept. This is, of course, the Safe2Pee project. Like TfTM, Safe2Pee is a project run by and for trans people. And, like TfTM, they’re thinking about public restrooms.
