Ok
I went and created a RSS Feed
http://www.antijen.org/x5rssfeed.xml
Please keep in mind that I take no credit for any info I post on the feed. I'm on a lot of mail lists and they are the ones sending me the news reports, and I thank them a lot.
I'm just going to filter the stuff that I think are important to young ones.
Again I did not do any of the hard work, and do not want the credit for the work of others
The Trevor Project operates the only nationwide, around-the-clock crisis and suicide prevention helpline for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth. If you or a friend are feeling lost or alone call The Trevor Helpline. There is hope, there is help.

New Documentaries making the rounds
She's a boy I knew
They say that when someone comes out of the closet, they can't stop talking about it. Vancouver filmmaker Gwen Haworth not only talked... she made a movie.

"T" is a ten-part, slice-of-life documentary series that uses the mythic landscape of New York City to explore the lives of twelve male to female transsexual women as they uniquely and personally define what it means to be "T".

Trans Youth Family Advocates
OUR MISSION
TransYouth Family Advocates (TYFA) are parents, family, friends and caring adults dedicated to educating and raising public awareness about the medical and cultural challenges faced by children with gender variant and gender questioning identities and the families who love them.
OUR VISION
Whenever children are able to express or articulate their gender identity, however young, they have the right to a caring atmosphere supporting that identity.
They have a PDF brouchure that I uploaded here
This info was sent to me by Evelyn, the author of
Mom I need to be a girl so you KNOW it can be trusted
My first crop of kids are reaching the age where they would like children.
Does anyone have any resources if a TS who has settled down in life can adopt a child. Especially if they are a gender challanged child who might not be wanted by the rest of the world.
Please send me email if you do
This is a plea to all resource pages
If you are thinking of leaving the net, and want someone to hold your info
please contact me, I'll host the pages for you
Please do not let your info die

Here's another site for you

Transgender And Self-Concept
This page was by one of my girls
Transition on a budget: A guide for the 20-something trans-girl....
Todays Feature page is a bit of a biography and just a plea that you don't waste your life.
You Got a Chance Don't waste it
This page is called To Tell the Truth
I want this page to be a space where you can share your stories about what it is really like to transition young.
I got the idea for the following pages from group therapy.
Yes I go to therapy too. Remember there is no shame in going to therapy.
I'm adding these pages because I believe by only sharing info, will we ever change the world.
The first page is called "What do you want?"
You started this journey with something in mind, share what it was, and how you either got it, or had to compromise and only get part or none of it.
The second new page is called "The Hidden Life"
A lot of people say that when they finally start to deal with their gender problems it's like coming out of hiding, allowing your true self to be shown to the world.
Can you share how this felt with you?
Did it change your life, for the better, for the worst?
I want it all, the good and bad, because people need to see this.
As with all my pages, I will remove your info, and only use your first name when i post your experience.
Lynn Conway is now hosting a page of
Successful Women with a Ts background
Go and learn from these women to never let anything stop you from your dreams! Special Spotlight section from Lynn.
For young TS's of African heritage:
Kimberli's Story
Also from Lynn's pages
a NEW section just for FTMs
And for those of you who Spanish is a first language
Lynn's Page in Spanish
Please do not forget to check out Andrea James resource pages for young TSs
Many people would like a copy of Just Evelyn's book about her daughter called Mom, I Need to be a Girl, but it is out of print.
I received permission from Evelyn to mirror her book on my site.
Lynn Conway also has a version of it on her site in English and French
There is a Spanish translation in progress on
.Mam?, necesito ser una ch?ca.
These words were said to one of my young ladies,by her Grandmother. This grandmother had just recently died.In wishing her love, please read these words, and the truth in them.
No matter what anyone else thinks,you are your own person. They can, and probably will, try to force you into their own image, they will push down on you, with all their considerable power. The stronger you are, the less you will buckle. And if you fall, you can still get stronger and pull yourself back up.
You are yourself,
and be damned those that say you aren't.
Be yourself, and be the best you can be!
