Helping TransGenders
Anonymous
Our H.T.G.A. groups are fellowships of transgender individuals and those
who are affected by transgender behavior, who share their experiences,
strength and hope in order to solve their common problems. We believe
gender presentation is an outward expression of an inner essence of our
total being and as such is natural for us. We believe we can find happiness
and a productive place in society, not by confrontational behavior or
aggressive promotion, but by our being positive and productive citizens.
