Welcome to Seattle Transgender
In creating this website, it was our dream to create a website tailored to the transgender community. In our creation of this one website, it also became our mission to provide an avenue for the resources needed within the LGBT community as a whole. The focus of our work here is to help provide for the many needs and issues of Transgender individuals.
Great health care is so important yet it is so hard to find professionals that are knowledgeable about working with the transgender community. The countless hours calling, searching websites, asking everyone you know and trying to find the right help is a job in itself! Our goal is to bring that information to one place, Seattle Transgender.
We provide a list of resources, as well as personal e-mail contact with someone that is knowledgeable and has real life experiences that can relate to you. The helpful words of others that have been in your place and can be a help in your transition can go a long way to supporting you on a daily basis. The many everyday challenges we are faced with is no secret, yet we keep trying to live our lives as ourselves. We hope to help make your life a little more comfortable.
We all have, at some point, walked into a business, and thought to ourselves, “Oh Shit!" "What was I thinking?" But you stay since you are already in the door and it seems there is no turning back now! You go on about your business, while being treated rudely, feeling uncomfortable, and saying to yourself, “I’ll never go there again.!” So many of us have been in your shoes. We all want to feel accepted, understood, and cared for.
We want to provide a listening ear and a word of encouragement when the world seems to not understand your pain. When we prefer our pronouns to be female or male, and someone uses the opposite pronoun, it makes us feel disrespected. We hope to remove this as much as possible. This can be done with a great deal of public awareness, among other things.It is a slow process, but with the help from those who care we can all work together to bring equality to all. We suggest that you patronize the many businesses, places, and even the streets where you are going to be respected.
Follow us as we build this website to create a better life for you as a transgender person, and for everyone in the LGBT community. This world belongs to all, join us as we work to create equality within our own little corner of the world, one person at a time.
