Transgender Resource Guide
State of California and National
A Partial Listing of Programs, Faith Communities, and Health Care Services.
1
On behalf of the Transcending Transgender Program and
the Alameda County Office of AIDS Administration, we are happy
to present you with the first edition of our Transgender Resource Guide.
This tool is designed to assist you and your organization in locating
available resources specific to the Transgender Community.
Social service programs, health services and open and affirming faith
communities are some sections we feel will be useful for you,
your staff and your clients.
Our intent is to provide relevant information, while creating a tool
that is easy to navigate. We view this project as a work in progress
requiring revisions and updates.
As we continue to challenge intolerance and hatred, we invite
collaborations and suggestions that will further our mission to
ultimately transcend boundaries and restore hope to the
Transgender Community.
We hope you find the Transgender Resource Guide
useful and we welcome your comments for future revisions.

“I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my
mother that I am not a boy but a girl.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will
hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her HIV infected brother tight
through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her
time.
I am the transsexual who died alone in the hospital because
they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the
room.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that
left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will
probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks
before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor shut the door on us
when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for a
me and my transgender boyfriend.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should
use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the transsexual woman who turned to drugs because my
parents didn’t accept me and the world didn’t understand me.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support
system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out
I had no insurance to pay for basic care.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support sys-
tem to turn to because I am a transmale.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew
up afraid to show affection to fags. I am the father who could
never understand why my son likes dresses.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to
teach gym until someone told me that only men do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating
me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. More
importantly because they think I deserved what ever
happened to me.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a
much healthier person if I didn’t have to always deal with
doctors treating me like an experiment.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I
don’t believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind
and told me that GOD could never love someone like me.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most,
...LOVE. ”
-Unknown
Dedicated to all the Transgender men and
women we have lost...may we always be
reminded of why we do this work.
