About This Website:

关于本网站

(Ch) = Chinese (simplified)

 (Ch) = 简体中文

 

My goal for this website is to illuminate and normalize the issues of gender identity and the processes of gender transition. This project began in the year 2000, as I struggled to "come out" about my past to my research colleagues. I wanted to tell in my own words the story of my gender transition from male to female three decades earlier, in 1968, and then of being outed 31 years later in 1999, while living quietly and successfully in "stealth mode".

 

设立这家网站的目的,在于阐明性别认定的相关问题和性别转换的过程,并使其正常化。这项计划开始于2000年,当时我正努力让我的研究伙伴们了解我的过去。从1968年开始的31年里,我一直试图以自己的方式讲述我从男性变为女性的故事,并在1999年袒露了这一切,这期间我成功地过着平静的潜藏式生活。

 

Since beginning work on this website, I've come into contact with ever growing numbers of people concerned with gender issues. I've interacted via e-mail and in personal meetings with large numbers of people who are transitioning or who have transitioned. Given the still-remaining social invisibility, ignorance and superstitions about gender conditions, I've felt a strong need to provide whatever information, encouragement and hope that I can to help others who are struggling with these issues.

 

网站创建之初,我便接触到越来越多的关心性别问题的人们,并通过电子邮件和面谈的方式与很多正在转变或已经完成性别转变的朋友进行交流。鉴于变性现象的社会隐蔽性、不被了解或被视为异端的情况依旧存在,我感到很有必要向正为之抗争的朋友提供资讯、鼓励和帮助。

 

As a result of my contacts with thousands of TG/TS/IS people over the past few years, this website has evolved into a major informational and support site for transgender and transsexual people. The site now reflects years of field work and empirical research, and intensive efforts at framing and writing up the resulting observations regarding this previously almost invisible, highly stigmatized minority about which many superstitions still prevail.

 

在过去的几年中我接触到数以千计的跨性/变性/双性(TG/TS/IS)的朋友,网站业已发展成为一个主要为跨性变性者提供资讯和支持的平台,并反映了数年来针对从前几乎处于隐蔽状态且被严重污蔑、至今仍被视为异端的少数群体所作的调查和实证研究,以及为构建并记录最终所得的观察结果而付出的孜孜不倦的努力。

 

This work has been conducted in the style of an investigative journalist who herself is embedded in the "war zone" she is covering. These investigations, carried out in an arena swirling with new shifts in existing paradigms of thought, have been continually shaped and guided by very close interactions with hundreds of people who are themselves very experienced in these issues. Many of these individuals have shared in the creation of this website, by contributing valuable observations and practical information about gender transition, and by sharing keen insights and wisdom that they've gained from their own personal experiences.

 

这项工作以调查记者的方式来完成,深入到探访世界的内部。这些调查基于既有的思想模式与新观念相互交织碰撞的背景之下,并通过与数百位富于跨性经验的朋友密切互动,不断进行规划和管理。他们当中的许多人通过提供有关性别转换的有价值的观察报告和实用信息,以及分享个人经验而来的敏锐洞察力和智慧,参与了网站的建设。

 

The website is informal in structure, and is still rapidly evolving as new ideas and information become available. I begin by first telling my own story, as best I can. That story, of someone who underwent gender transition earlier in life, illustrates that such transitions can turn out rather well in the long term. The story also provides personal vignettes relevant to the gender identity sections of this website:

 

本网站的结构不拘形式,并且会就新的想法和信息做出迅速更新。我尽我最大的努力,以我个人的故事为开端,讲述了自己年轻时代经历的性别转换,并以此说明尽管经历了这样的转换,从长远来看人生依然可以很美好。此外,我还为故事配了个人插图,这些插图与本网站性别认定部分相关联:

The website then presents an array of informational webpages and constantly updated reference links concerning gender identity and gender transition, in an effort to help others who may undergo such transitions. The site also links to webpages containing photos and stories of over 150 other people who've undergone complete gender transitions (both MtF and FtM). These many additional true-life "success stories" can provide encouragement, hope and role models for others, especially for the many young transgender and transsexual people who often feel so much fear and desperation about their futures. Experienced-based knowledge and real-world role models can go a long way towards easing the fears of these young people, helping them more confidently confront the challenges ahead of them, and illuminating pathways they can follow to build a full and joyful life:  

 

本网站展现给大家的是一系列有关性别认定和性别转换的资讯网页和不断更新的链接,以帮助有着相同遭遇的人们。网站也链接了含有150多位已经完成性别转换者(包括男变女和女变男)的照片和故事的网页,这些额外的来源于真实生活的“成功故事”能为他人提供鼓励、希望和榜样,特别是那些经常对未来感到恐惧和绝望的年轻跨性/变性者。基于丰富经验的知识和现实世界的榜样对这些年轻人大有裨益,有助于缓解他们的恐惧,帮助其更加自信地面对挑战,并为之提供了可以因循的创建充实和快乐人生的光明之路。

I always welcome new ideas and practical information about these issues, as well as critical feedback about this website. Please feel free to contact me via e-mail at the address below if you have any ideas you'd like to share. Increasingly we transgender and transsexual women are speaking for ourselves, instead of fearfully hanging back while the old-time psychiatric establishment, sex-obsessed "sex researchers" (such as J.Michael Bailey*), talk-show comics, tabloid media and various conservative religions spread awful misinformation about us.

 

我一直都很欢迎有关这些问题的新想法和实用信息,以及对这个网站的批评指教。如果你有什么新主意愿意分享的话,请尽管通过下面地址中的电子邮箱与我联系。我们这些跨性和变性女性逐渐开始为自己而言,不再因为那些陈腐的精神病学组织(如:保罗•马洪)、沉迷于性的“性研究者”*(如:J•迈克尔•贝利雷•布兰查)、脱口秀节目、街头小报以及各种保守派宗教散布的可怕误传而心怀恐惧、踌躇不前。

 

By openly sharing our stories and life-experiences, we can help build a more realistic knowledge of and genuine wisdom about transgender issues. We can also help society see us as the human beings we truly are. In the process we can enable more and more people to live fuller and happier lives in an increasingly inclusive, harmonious society.

 

通过公开分享我们的故事和生活经验,有助于构建有关跨性事宜的更加真实而实际的知识与智慧,也有助于社会大众看到最真实的我们。在这一过程中,我们能使越来越多的人在这个日益包容与和谐的社会上生活得更加充实和愉快。
