Renee Reyes - Transgender Community and Shopping Links

If you're like me, you do most your surfing by visiting one site and subsequently following links to other web destinations. Following are sites that might've brought you here or will serve as a new beginning for your next great adventure in the world of transgenderism.

Know this - regarding links I include at my web site. I don't accept any form of referral compensation or banner ad fees from the commercial links provided. Thus, if I recommend it? It's because I use their service or am friends with a satisfied customer that I trust.

SCC? SCC! Southern Comfort Conference is held each year in Atlanta, GA and continues to be the largest annual "get together" of t-girls from across the globe. From those getting out for their very first time - to gals who've lived as women for years - this 'fab event makes everyone feel right at home.

It's Southern hospitality - at its best!

The Southern Belle Society - I was never one to "join" various organizations and groups designed to support the TV/TS community.

I rarely agree with their chosen agendas - or perhaps most succinctly - I don't concur with the politics of how agendas - get carried out. Usually, these organizations begin with a healthy purpose and leadership. However, those people with nothing better to do than complain usually represent the long term membership. That's depressing - to me.

Likewise, I'm not a huge fan of elitist groups that proudly differentiate themselves as better. I understand the need of certain people to join such groups - it's just not for me. I remain extra sensitive to helping new girls gain confidence in their feminine persona. I believe our collective future lies imbedded in how we learn to embrace one another - not in the manner in which we identify a hierarchy.

It's only agenda is the socialization of its members. Regardless how leaders of most t-conventions attempt to pack schedules with illustrious speakers and counselors - the primary reason most attendees show up - is to simply visit with others - and share personal experiences. The Southern Belle Society does just that.
