The Carrousel Club is a non-profit social club where members share the common
bond of crossdressing or transsexuality (gender dysphoria). Most of our members
are in heterosexual relationships and many are married with children.
Socialising takes place in all conventional ways, ie general day to day
activities. More intimate contact is at the discretion of individuals, but is
not a club activity.
A monthly meeting is held at a central city location. These meetings are
generally just an informal sit and chat, with supper (or at least light
munchies) usually being provided. On some occasions, we have been able to add a
special theme to our meeting, for example we may have been able to secure the
services or someone who is able to provide a chat to members on a topic of
interest (such as makeup).
As a general rule, we are not a raging group (Ed: Damn!), although we have been
known to enjoy ourselves a great deal.
Currently, our membership is running at around the thirty mark, although (as can
be appreciated in any group where many members consider secrecy to be paramount)
no large volumes of records are kept and therefore the actual memebership may be
more or less.
Carrousel also provides information to the helping professions, if requested, so
that it can be passed on to those who need it and, hopefully, lead to a better
understanding of our community and its needs.
