TransLothian Transsexual Support.
Are you or someone you know Transsexual?
TransLothian is a new group aiming to support both pre- and post-operative transsexuals, both male to female and female to male, their partners, families and friends.
Our aim is to improve the care of transsexual people both before and after surgery, and to work towards a Centre of Excellence based in the Edinburgh area.
Being transsexual is painful, difficult and all too often very, very lonely. However, we aim to make life that little bit simpler, more rewarding and positive.
We can offer counselling, 'buddying', practical help with make-up, deportment,body language and all the new skills you will need in your new life.
We can also offer general advice on employment and general law.
Above all this we can provide you with information regarding what services are available to you within the NHS.
Most importantly, we aim to offer support after surgery, should you wish it. At the moment, little or no support is available in this area. We aim to change that !
