About UsThrough sharing personal stories across social networks – both face-to-face and online – trans and gender-questioning storytellers and our allies are exploring what it means to ‘see and share ourselves’, to feel ‘understood and at home’, and to experience ‘wellbeing’. We speak and listen across differences, both within and outside our community. We hope to change the world by challenging binary gender stereotypes. We are also lobbying for better health provision, education and social understanding.

Who We Are |
We are an eclectic collection of transgender and gender-questioning people. Umbrella terms are tricky because they exclude as much as include, however we quite like ‘QUILTBAG’ as a humourous acronym to replace the ever expanding and contentious LGBTQIS. QUILTBAG stands for queer or questioning; undecided or unknown; intersex; lesbian; transgender or transsexual; bisexual; agender or ally; and gay or gender-queer or gender-fluid. Basically 'we' is made up of anyone who is interested in using social media to share stories that challenge social stereotypes of gender and transition.
