Christianity and GID: Reconciling Your Faith

Power-Point Presentation followed by a discussion session of what the Bible has to say about GID and Transitioning. I will relate my own experiences of how I dealt with such an extremely debilitating condition as GID from a spiritual perspective and how it impacted on my view of a (presumptively) loving and caring God. I will also discuss how you can effectively counter the arguments and attacks made by the religious right/evangelical-fundamentalists against those of us with GID who choose to transition by using the Bible and their own "Christian" logic against them.

'Wholistic' Healthcare for T's: Before, During and After Transitioning

This presentation will concentrate on healthcare issues affecting T's beyond just cross-gender hormone treatment. It will deal with the psychological and emotional stressors encountered by T's, 'deleting' unhealthy pre-transition habits to reduce health risks during transition thereby cultivating a new lifestyle to go along with your new gender, and will cover the health maintenance problems important to T's after transitioning.
