The International Foundation for Gender Education & Transgender Tapestry FAQs (frequently-asked questions)
Category: Main -> I F G E QuestionAnswerWhat is IFGE?IFGE is a non-profit advocacy organization founded in 1987. Its purpose is overcoming the intolerance of transvestitism and transsexualism brought about by widespread ignorance. Since then, as our own consciousness evolves, we have rededicated ourselves to outreach through education for the emancipation of all people from restrictive gender norms.
"The crossdressing and transsexual phenomena have been an integral part of human experience as long as there has been a human experience. These phenomena have manifested themselves in every society and in every walk of life throughout history, and continue to affect the lives of vast numbers of people. Yet, as common as they are, ignorance of them, and the resulting intolerance and fear, continues to cost good people their happiness, their jobs, their families, and their lives. It costs society its neighbors, its friends, and its productive citizens"
