Welcome to The Beaumont Society
We believe that transgendered people have the right to dignity. The internet often display transgendered people as sexual objects - the Beaumont Society aims to expel this myth and is not available for making sexual liaisons! We are the largest and longest established transgendered support group in the UK, and have developed a support network which has been at the forefront of the transgender, transvestite , transsexual and crossdressing community since 1966!
As well as being a support network, the society keenly promotes the better understanding of the conditions of transgender, transvestisim and gender dysphoria in society, thereby creating and improving tolerance and acceptance of these conditions by a wider public. We have a small number of dedicated personnel who are available to give talks and presentations on transgender issues to Health Services, Police, Samaritans, Social Services and other support organisations.
We offer a variety of activities that include weekend events and local events, a national information line network, a safe mail box contact system, a separate--independent--wives and partners group called WOBS (Women Of the Beaumont Society), and our publications, the Beaumont Magazine and the Beaumont Bulletin.
Our WOBS page includes articles by partners of trans people on how it feels to live with a trans person.
Based in the United Kingdom the Society is a democratically run, non- profit making organisation funded entirely by membership subscriptions and donations. Cost of membership is £ 33 for UK and internet members, £ 38.50 for EU residents and £ 44 for non EU residents. Application form
The aims of the society:
The purposes of the Beaumont Society are to form an association of those who crossdress, are transvestite or who are transsexual and, through this association, to provide a means of help and communication between members, in order to reduce emotional stress, eliminate the guilt and so aid better understanding of them by their families and friends.
To promote and assist by all possible means the study of gender role differences.
To inform lay and professional groups about crossdressing, transvestitism and transsexualism, as well as about the work of the society and by such and any lawful means, to gain public understanding and tolerance for this mode of behaviour and help for those so affected.
To engage generally in any cause or project to promote the above purposes and to do anything necessary and proper for their accomplishment.
