TransWirral is a relatively informal organisation for transsexual & intersex people who live in the NW England & N Wales area. Meetings are normally held on the first Saturday of the month and consists of a short business meeting followed by socializing. Occasionally, we have a second or special meeting in a month. This may be a shopping trip, play, movie, etc. The special meeting is not normally in a protected environment -- we mix with the public.
TransWirral provides a supportive environment for transsexual individuals helping them overcome their sense of isolation and providing educational and social opportunities.
Our primary goal is to provide a safe place for transsexual people and their significant others to meet and talk with other people who are seeking a better understanding of what being transsexual means for their lives. Our other goals are just as important; we reach out to our closeted transsexual sisters and brothers. We let them know that they are not alone and we are here to help and support them. Finally, we try to educate the public and professionals that deal with the transsexual community. Many have misconceptions about transsexuals. This last goal includes actively supporting movements to protect your rights as individuals. At the meeting, you are accepted for who you are and who you want to become.
