Mentoring
Gender transition can sometimes be time consuming, expensive and even painful. There are pitfalls and complications and every person is unique and different in their needs. Often it worth having a "big sister" or "big brother" who has gone through the journey and can make the way forward easier.

With the community containing a range of people from all walks of life, it is often possible to find a mentor of a similar age group, social, professional, and cultural or religious background - someone who has been down the same path and understands intimately the issues and solutions.

Mentors help ease problems, and can be a shoulder to cry on or simply a good friend. They can also be the start of a new social network that makes it much quicker and easier to build a new life successfully.
