This site espouses to the WPATH Standards of Care as the safest treatment approach for Transgender people. Gender Therapists on our referral list subscribe to these Standards. Reparative therapists or religious Groups claiming to "Cure" us will not be on this list. Gender therapists typically have experience treating us and may have taken seminars and extra courses. If you meet the requirements you qualify for our Referral list which is free. This site has sent out thousands of referrals over a 5 year period as we encourage therapy to our members.
