In our experience we have talked with hundreds of thousands
of Transsexuals and Transgendered users either in our chat rooms or in our
forums or by email. Our main mission is to prevent suicide which for us numbers
31%. Over 50% of our users from 13 and up have had at least one suicide attempt
by their 20th birthday many more cut or mutilate themselves especially in their
teenage years. At puberty all live through the horror of watching their bodies
change into something foreign to them. The male minded (FTM) are growing
breasts and starting their periods. The female minded (MTF) are getting
erections, muscles and body hair along with their voice changes. To them it is
a curse. that will be with them the rest of their lives. Sadly much of this
could have been prevented. You see most of us knew and insisted that we were in
the wrong body as our first remembered thought at the age of 4 or 5. Why weren't
we treated? In most cases our parents thought it was just a phase and didn't
listen. In others parents would just force the wrong gender down their son's
and daughters throats forcing them to suffer in silence. If all Transgendered
and Transsexual children were treated at an early age our suicide rate would be
much lower.

Gender torment of 10-year-old Cameron

Discovering what it
means to be gay and the idea of gay identity. Children
who become aware of their homosexual attractions no longer need endure the
baleful combination of loneliness and longing that characterized the childhoods
of so many gay adults. Gay kids can now watch fictional and real teens who are
out on shows like Desperate Housewives, the dating show Next on MTV and
Degrassi (a high school drama on the N network whose wild popularity among
adolescents is assured by the fact that few adults watch it). Publishers like
Arthur A. Levine Books (of Harry Potter fame) and the children's division at
Simon & Schuster have released something like a dozen novels about gay
adolescents in the past two years. New, achingly earnest books like Rainbow
Road (Simon & Schuster), in which three gay teens take a road trip, are
coming this month. Gay kids can subscribe to the 10-month-old glossy YGA
Magazine (YGA stands for "young gay America") and meet thousands of
other little gays via young gay america com or outproud.org
