Pacific Gender Support

Who Are We?

Pacific Gender Support is program of Pacific Gender Institute. It is run by a Steering Committee comprised of transgendered people, significant others, facilitators and therapists; many of whom have extensive experience from their past and present involvement with other transgender organizations. All of us see the benefit peer support has given our community, and many have experienced it first-hand. We are determined to continue this valuable service for our friends, including those we have yet to meet.

About Our Site

Design on the PGS web site was done by various PGS volunteers. Our menu system is based on the Suckerfish example here, created by Patrick Griffiths and Dan Webb, who have generously allowed us to use their really nifty ideas.
