Take the "Combined Gender Identity and Transsexuality Inventory" (COGIATI) - If you take the test, please send your answers to Lisbeth for her survey and attempt to update the test. Just send her the question number and the letter answer you gave. Ex. 1-a, 2-b, etc. Also, remember that this test and any others you take online are just for fun. They should not be used in any manner to make life changing decisions. That should only be done in collaboration with a qualified therapist(one who is familiar with Gender Identity counseling).

Ormewood Park Presbyterian- is an all inclusive place for worship here in Atlanta. It's a wonderful place and you are accepted for who you are (a child of God), and not who society thinks you should be.
More Light Presbyterians on Transgender - This information is certainly familiar to all of us, but serves as a primer for those who would be welcoming to TG people, but don't know how to do so.

TransFaith Online - Transgender Christian Resources On The Web- has articles that are well worth reading for Transgender Christians. Especially check out the TransLife in our Churches page.

Shopping
(Note from Beverly - I am putting shopping resources here simply for reference and not as an endorsement. The only two companys that I can endorse are The Wig Company and One Hanes Place. Both offer excelent customer service.)
The Wig Company - These are great people to buy from. They don't have their website up and running yet but you can go to their URL and e-mail, fax or call them to ask for a catalog. For the full story on why I think so highly of them, click here.
One Hanes Place - Good source for lingere and hosiery needs with online ordering. If you sign up for their shoppers scoop, they will e-mail you with special offers.
Victoria's Secret - I don't think I need to say more.
Maidenform - has a lingere planner to give you an idea of what to wear underneath.
Just My Size - Plus size lingere and hosiery from One Hanes Place.
Cybernet.com -Need an evening gown but don't want to pay a small fortune? Cybernet.com has a great selection of gowns at prices ranging from $69 to $99. Now we know that at that price, they probably aren't make of silk, but then you're probably only going to wear it once anyway.
Sexy Shoes - Leslie Shoe Company's online site. They have some very nice styles and most are in sizes up to 14. But one word of caution. While the do have a few styles in 3.5" heels, most are in a very high heel (4"-6") so they are primarily for younger women. They are also TG friendly (they even tell you how to convert mens shoe sizes to womens). so don't worry about it if you need to call them.
The Breast Form Store - An online store dedicated specifically to the transgender community. Because they are a sister store of a very large supplier of forms, they can offer lower prices. They even have forms especially designed for CDs.
Makeup and Techniques
Application Techniques - has lots of good information on application. Great site for anyone just learning to apply makeup.
Learn To Apply Eyeliner - This is probably one of the hardest things to learn. Easy lesson that is really geared towards young girls, but is also useful to the novice transgendered woman. They also have a lesson on shaving your legs. Teaches you how to do it without opening an artery! :-)
Beauty.com - has tips from Kevyn Aucoin, author of two books that I highly reccomend. In "Making Faces" and "Face Forward" he gives you step by step instructions on how to create the looks shown in the pictures..
Covergirl's "CG Connection" - has color matching, shopping and animated techniques. Good source for tips. Sign up and they will send you monthly updates on new products and a seperate "beauty horoscope."
The Frugal Face" - Tips on makeup on a budget.
