A friend of mine has asked me to look for a
NG, email groups etc regarding help & support
for Bi-sexualise with particular reference M-F and F-M transsexuals,
and sex changes.
Hope the above makes sense to someone.
I've tried to help but just put my foot in it as it were.
If you don't feel like posting any info to the UPG,
then please email me at
whisk...@bottlebank.empties.fsnet.co.uk
Please put out the empties before replying :)
Cheers Dave

soc.support.transgendered would be a good place to start, I'd imagine.

IIRC, the preferred terms are, generally, now "transgender" and
"gender realignment" ("sex change" is a phrase I haven't heard used
for years).

Probably the best place to start, yes. Depending on exactly what Dave
means by "Bi-sexualise", soc.bi might also be appropriate.
And Dave - If you're posting any questions to either of those groups
then I would suggest that you think long and hard about *exactly* what
you've written and how you've phrased it *before* you hit 'send'. Some
of the regulars on those two groups have a famously low tolerance for
clueless newbies...

and, possibly, http://www.bi.org

Ah so youd be in the "people who cant be classed in one of two groups"
part of society. I know someone who changed the toilet signs to reflect
that.
