Care does need to be taken though, because there are some real perverts out there who get off on TG folk, as no doubt you all know.<BR/><BR/>I have dealt with Press For Change who are full of good advice, http://www.pfc.org.uk/<BR/><BR/>My experience is from the TS side of things and I also work in a school, so I recommend seeing a trusted GP, School Counsellor or a Youth Therapist. It is hard to get treatment before the age of 18, although some sympathetic GP's will proscribe hormone suppressants to prevent onset of puberty until a full diagnosis is given.Jaynenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-59591067803036895512007-08-04T23:01:00.000+01:002007-08-04T23:01:00.000+01:00That forum Tess posted about looks good. Leah, one of my girls from Flickr is an admin. That makes me feel pretty good about it.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18376353238211267217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-50543164983503600952007-08-04T19:51:00.000+01:002007-08-04T19:51:00.000+01:00If forums are your thing, then there's a TG Youth (not Yoof tho) section on the UK Angels site. Even if it's not offering advice directly, being able to talk with people going through the same stuff as yourself can be useful.<BR/><BR/>Failing that, would there be any mileage in us 'old hands' putting a few ideas down on paper?Lynn Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00876715474502367377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-67446662749896745872007-08-04T14:19:00.000+01:002007-08-04T14:19:00.000+01:00Theres a good forum aimed at younger people. <BR/><BR/>http://youngcds.angrynachos.com/forum/index.phpTesshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/tesss/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-24461750003412645042007-08-04T06:23:00.000+01:002007-08-04T06:23:00.000+01:00Antijen is very good and so is the book Bex. You could also shoot them my way if you'd like. I'm only 20. It might be a bit less scary. I still remember high school and all that.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18376353238211267217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-40145359287555549622007-08-04T02:07:00.000+01:002007-08-04T02:07:00.000+01:00I had these resources in my collection of links. <BR/>1)Trans Youth Family Advocates:http://www.imatyfa.org/<BR/> is a decent starting point. <BR/>2)The Antijen Pages:http://www.antijen.org/ has a variety of resources.<BR/>3) The book "Mom, I Need To Be A Girl" by Just Evelyn.
