Transsexuality, identity, and empowerment: a view from the front lines
Article Abstract:
Transsexuals are people whose physical gender does not match their internal gender and so they seek support and treatment to resolve this conflict. The Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center has a program called the Gender Identity Project that includes group support sessions for transsexuals to allow them to share their experiences and receive support from others with similar backgrounds. The gender identity of transsexuals needs to be accepted and they should be given support in their decisions because to do otherwise would require them to internalize their conflict.

Article Abstract:
Hong Kong is diffusing its sociocultural models to overseas Chinese communities, while its economic performances are slowed down but this city is the hub of the Jewish community and even of the Chinese world. The migrants approaching with their habits could foreshadow globalizing and multi-residential trends that will characterize the behavior of a fortunate elite in a close future.
