Sam Winter notes:
The Transgender Health Handbook. A health resource (currently in English) for transwomen in Asia. Produced in 2010 by APNSW (Asia-Pacific Network of Sex Workers) with funding from amFAR (the Foundation for AIDS Research). Superbly comprehensive advice for transwomen in plain English.

Reader Sandra has begun a project to translate this site into German. She notes:
Schönen guten Tag an alle!
Die TS Roadmap von Andrea James gibt es als “Wegweiser für Transsexuelle” bald vollständig in deutscher Sprache. Ich darf mich als eure Übersetzerin vorstellen 
Ich bin Sandra, 32 Jahre alt, lebe in der Nähe von Idar-Oberstein und bin dabei, die 1600+ Seiten zu übersetzen, was natürlich eine gewisse Zeit dauert. Aber schaut bitte regelmäßig herein, es gibt sicherlich jedesmal neue Inhalte zu entdecken.
Ziel des Wegweisers ist es, euch auf eurem Weg Tipps und Hilfestellung zu geben und euch über praktisch alle Aspekte rund um Transgeschlechtlichkeit/Transidentität zu informieren. So wird der Weg viel, viel einfacher, da ihr euch nicht alles in mühsamer Kleinarbeit selber erarbeiten müsst. (Ich muss sagen, mir helfen die Texte beim Übersetzen auch sehr viel. Ich bin selbst transident und befinde mich mitten in der Umwandlung)
Wenn ihr Ergänzungen habt, Anregungen, Korrekturen, Adressen von Organisationen im deutschsprachigen Raum, die unbedingt hier reinmüssen, interessante Filme oder sonst irgendwas, schreibt mir ruhig unter:
Liebe Grüße
Sandra

Trans depictions in the media continue to improve. Trans actress Maria Clara Spinelli is on the festival circuit right now with Paulista. It premiered earlier this year in Palm Springs and just played the Hollywood Brazilian Film Festival. About her character:
She is simply a woman who wants to be loved. “That’s what makes the character so fascinating,” Spinelli said, with the help of a translator. “She is a paradox. The fact is that she’s a transsexual, but she’s the most conservative one in the film. People assume that she would be the flamboyant, overly sexual one, and it is not so. “The fact that she is a transsexual is just one part of her. She is so much more than that.”
