TransgenderSoul


Affirming. Educating. Creating Hope and Healing Lives

TransgenderSoul provides educational information and resources about gender identity and transgender issues to affirm, educate, bring hope and heal the lives of those who live with conflict between their birth sex and their gender identity. Dr. Rachael St.Claire, a licensed psychologist specializing helping trans-clients with gender identity issues, first began publishing TransgenderSoul to the Web in 2000. My sincere hope is that within these pages you will find wisdom, healing, love, and justice to carry you swiftly and safely along your journey in search of the wholeness within yourself that you seek. No matter how far and difficult your journey thus far, nor how weary your body, mind and soul has grown, always know that understanding and support is never far off, so seek it, you are not alone, and never ever give up on your dreams or your self.

If you identify as a transgender person or experience conflict in your gender identity, you will find resources for:
  • trans-healthcare and service providers in the Denver Metro area that are trans-affirming on the TG Denver tab.
  • healing and growing through the conflicts between your birth sex and your gender identity.
  • understanding the stages of coming out to yourself and the important people in your life.

  • building healthy relationships as a transperson with family, friends, partners, and your community.
  • finding trans-affirmative and trans-competent service professionals, including therapists and physicians.
