After realizing that the transgender challenges we face here in the USA and elsewhere will remain stalled without first educating the masses, I committed myself to passionately author a necessarily lengthy white paper detailing who we are, what we face, and where we must go moving forward. As a transgender female in possession of requisite credibility, I felt that I must do more than just seek my own objectives.

As part of the huge disenfranchised transgender community worldwide, I wanted to do my part, for better or for worse, in advancing our cause -- equality long deserved that has eluded us long enough, and will continue to so unless we all do more.

I hope that it will be a reference paper that will help answer the questions: What does it mean to be transgender? What are transgender person trying to accomplish and how must this be accomplished?

PS: It is very lengthy. Complicated issues cannot be explained by the use of mere one-liners. I have attached a picture of me at 18, when I was in the USAF, and one now...looking girly. So pull up a chair...a hot cup of java and prepare to be stimulated!
