Who is a Woman
Group description
A group dedicated to the acceptance of Intersex & Transsex women by their sisters in all walks of life. We wish to help educate all Women's groups, orgs, and associations as to the reality of women born differently. We are willing to go into groups and give talks and exchange with members of any Women's group. I am based in Montreal, Canada and can move around the province if necessary. I'm available for university classes, Lesbian and feminists groups and basically any group wanting to better understand and be more accepting and inclusive of women like us.
To join Who is a woman
