You can work towards transgender equality from anywhere you have an Internet connection. Transortium is looking for individuals to find resources for transgender people, such as lawyers, LGBTQ centers, support groups, doctors, welcoming religious congregations, and electrolysis providers. These resources will be added to an international database where users can rate and recommend services and will help smooth the way for transgender people to connect with needed resources.

Transortium's culture is upbeat, fun, and creative! By participating in this project, you won't just be doing busy work. You will be empowering the transgender equality movement and making the world a safer, more welcoming place!

I cannot wait to meet you and to add your research to our database!

Sincerely,
Heather Flanagan, MBA
