The World Wide Web has been largely responsible for the explosion in popularity of the internet over the last couple of years. Through the use of hypertext links, you can navigate around the web to your hearts desire. Every page you bring up has a good half dozen links to other pages, so of course you just have to follow them, don’t you?

As a medium for publishing information like this guide, nothing beats the web. By simply writing a few pages of text, and then ‘advertising’ your resource to a few search engines, you open up your little bit of information to hundreds of thousands of computer users all the way around the globe. There is no accountability, no censorship, and complete anonymity for people accessing the information. As a result, you’ll find more information about transgender issues on the web than you will anywhere else. Here’s a really brief selection of sites, each of which will link you to dozens of others:
