Transgender ~ the Wikipedia page. I always find Wikipedia to be a great first step in any research.
How to Respect a Transgender Person ~ A wiki-how page that is an intro to avoid looking like an pompous ass when speaking with/about your transgender friends & family.
30+ Examples of Cisgender Privilege ~ Because folks lucky enough to be born with matching insides and outsides can forget how lucky we are.
Have An LGBT Child? Be Supportive Through Your Concerns ~ A parent's primer
Gender Dysphoria Services from the UK National Health Services ~ Regardless of where you live, this is a good read. It explains what the NHS requires of its Gender Services patients and what it provides. It is straightforward, non-judgmental and provides an outline of what the transgender person will deal with. The medical community in the UK does a better job than the US ~ a lot of American doctors kind of suck at dealing with transgender issues.
Answers to Your Questions About Transgender People, Gender Identity, and Gender Expression ~ A brochure from the American Psychological Association that is designed to be an introduction to transgenderism.
HuffPost Transgender ~ Transgender news from the Huffington Post. Quality varies, but there is a lot of pertinent news here that is ignored (or buried on page 12) of the mainstream news.
Brutality in Blue ~ Amnesty International's overview of American police vs. the transgendered. Read it and you'll never let your child go alone to report a crime. Sorry.
Corporate Equality Index ~ How companies treat their LGBT staff. Where to work. What companies to support.
Trans Ally Tips ~ UC Davis LGBQTIA (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Queer Transgender Intersex Asexual) Resource Center has useful tips for not offending your LGBT friends & family. And, seriously, seven letters that can't be pronounced? We need to come up with an umbrella term.
My Trans Story Is Not Your Growth Experience ~ A friendly little read about cisfolks' unintentional unfriendliness. Sometimes we get so busy patting ourselves on the back that we forget the person we want to support. We shouldn't.
