Help the Transgender Community – Take This Survey

By Vanessa Law | Published July 5, 2009 | Leave a comment |

I’m a big supporter of research surveys that cover those in the transgender community. Research will not only bring an enhanced understanding of the transgender condition (for lack of a better term), but also bring more visibility to the transgender community. I’m under no illusion that science will discover a cause or cure for our transgenderedness. I do believe that shining a realistic light on the transgender experience will bring crossdressing acceptance to our communities. Most of the crossdressers I’ve met look more like regular people, struggling with regular problems, not side show freaks some in the media make us out to be.

Most of all, I hope that more data about the joys, hopes, struggles, strife and triumphs of those in the transgender community will provide impetus for political change.

Transgender Survey

So now that I’ve convinced you to spend a few minutes of your time for a good cause ;) Please take this transgender mental health survey. It won’t take much time, but will provide valuable data for those who seek to understand us better.

I hope you had a fabulous 4th July, and if you were lucky enough to have a long weekend, I hope it was a luxurious blessing!

P.S. If you are a researcher who would like to publicize a research survey within the transgender community, please contact me at vanessalaw@crossdresserheaven.com – I am more than happy to share your survey with readers of Crossdresser Heaven.

Stay Connected To The Transgender Community

By Vanessa Law | Published November 13, 2008 | Leave a comment |

The friends who have accompanied me on my transgender journey are one of the true blessings in my life. I’ve been fortunate to get to know so many beautiful people who are part of the transgendered community. Whether I’ve met you “in real life”, or online – thank you for being my friend.

One way to strengthen our community is for us to stay connected. It’s in unity that our voices are heard, and with one voice that the world can change. I know many of you have your own website or myspace pages where you share your joys and heartaches of your transgendered experience. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if one easy step could get you connected to an online transgender community and bring in new readers? Webrings are tried and true methods for generating website traffic, building friendships and strengthening communities

Transgender Webring

I have created a webring to link our websites together. All sites that are part of the webring will display a badge like the one below. If you are part of the webring, your website is accessible from everyone else’s website. Making it easier for people interested in crossdressing or transgender subjects to find your website. Join now to be part of the Ultimate Transgender Webring.

Actually joining a Crossdresser Webring

Okay Vanessa, that sounds simple enough, but what’s the catch?
It will take a few minutes to setup. This shouldn’t involve much more than copy/pasting a code snippet into your website, and I’d be happy to help you if you run into difficulties – just email me to let me know.

I hope that all of you will join the transgender webring – I’m looking forward to staying connected with my new transgender friends!

Do you want to help our transgendered sisters

By Vanessa Law | Published September 1, 2008 | 1 Comment |

Do you want to raise awareness of crossdressing?
Do you wish for a day when the transgendered could step out of the shadows?

I do. I long for the day when we would be treated as equals in society. As valuable human beings who get to share in all the joy that life brings – openly and without fear.

Through Crossdresser Heaven I have tried to paint a picture of the transgendered as human beings – in all their wisdom and humor, failings and folly. Through my writing I hope to shine a path for us out of the shadows and into acceptance.

But I can’t do it alone.

I need your help.
Right now you have a tremendous opportunity to help the transgender community. You can do it from the privacy of your own home, and it won’t take more than a few seconds.

If you want to help those in the transgendered community – please read on!

Yahoo has just released a tool that allows you to vote on articles you think others should read. It’s called "Buzz Up!". All you need to do is click the "Buzz Up!" button next to an article you would like to share, follow the short steps that Yahoo gives you and you’ve helped to share the transgender lifestyle with millions of others who may never be exposed to it.



Thanks for your help and support – together our community can stand strong!
