Who are
we?
We are an Irish transgender support, resource and social group operating on a
non-profit, voluntary basis since our
founding in 1999. We mainly provide information via our web site and
support via email for Transgender (TG), Transvestite (TV), Transsexual
(TS) and Cross Dressing (CD) people in Ireland.
Partners, Wives and Significant Others
We have a special
section here on our web site for the wives,
partners and friends of transgendered people. There is a brand
new page this month
(June 2006) in which TV Martha and wife Kate
talk about their own personal experiences.
The Gemini Club
Sí is closely affiliated to the Gemini, which we believe to be Ireland's
best and friendliest dressing service and home to Sí-promoted social
events for transgendered people and friends. More details on the Gemini
here
(you need a Yahoo account or click The Gemini Club link above).
Announcement! The Gemini Club 10th Year
Anniversary celebrations will be happening in September 2006. Keep an
eye out for details!
