About INTRAA

INTRAA is a small group of committed people working to change the world for transgender and gender variant people in Indiana. INTRAA is a statewide organization fighting for YOUR RIGHT TO BE who you are.

Visit INTRAA on the Web.

We believe all people have the right to freedom of gender identity and expression and work through legislative and educational programs to create a society that values and protects these rights.

INTRAA's Inspiration

Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others or strike out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.

That ripple builds others.

Those ripples—crossing each other from a million different centers of energy—build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and injustice...

Senator Robert F. Kennedy, 1966

Who I'd like to meet:

Activists, gender transgressors, queers, straights, SOFFA's, FTMs, MTFs, transwomen, transmen, intersexed folk, and anyone who wants to know more about INTRAA or get involved in this important work.

    FTM Book Vol. 1 = OUT NOW!!!!!

    About FTM Book Vol. 1
    FTM Book Vol 1: A Basic Introduction to Transman Life is an easy-to-understand, yet comprehensive primer on FTM issues such as:

    What is an FTM?
    How do FTMs see themselves?
    Appearance
    Stages in Transition
    Surgeries Available
    Common Personal Histories
    Violence
    Discrimination
    Health Issues
    Counseling
    Relationships
    Common Legal Issues

    We've worked hard to help create definitions that will help you talk about trans issues with others, including terms for body parts unique to the FTM and by naming the stages of transitioning. This book is great for anyone who who is having trouble understanding the lifestyle or choices of a transperson. When we first began dating, we were shocked that there was no one place that he (Aaron) could turn to show me (Crystal) "See, this explains what being an FTM means." We hope that this book will be a good start.

    Best of all, when you order FTM Book Vol. 1: A Basic Introduction to Transman Life you can feel good knowing that sales of the book are being used to fund more research to help FTMs and their partners get through the challenges of their lives. This is a great book for youself and for anyone you know who could use a little more understanding. Also, you can help teach others about trans issues by donating copies to your local high schools, colleges, LGBT centers and libraries.


    Get your copy here: http://www.cafepress.com/muskegon115

    FTM Book Vol. 2 is also in the works (more focus on relationship issues etc), as well as a few other things to be announced...

    We're thrilled that you have become a 'friend!' We hope to woo you with song and see you evolve from 'friend' to über-fan soon enough. Check the tunes out on iTunes, they sound better there than on myspace. The link is on our main page. Our new single "It's Not Me, It's YOU" will be out in around Christmas, ahead of the release of our sophomore album 'Manic Ghost.' Keep checking out page for upcoming contests, videos and previews of the new album. You can still buy the old album on iTunes (and Rhapsody, Napster and many others) before the new one is released. If buy it, you're our best friends for life. Ha. You are quite blatantly badass, oh, new friend of ours. =) Electric Exuberance, -The Boys of Bradford

    A word from Oprah about being different:

    By doing shows about gender identity, Oprah says she hopes people will see how we're all more alike than we are different. "Soon, and I know that it is not going to happen in my lifetime, but I feel like all of us who are living in this lifetime have to do our part to create a greater understanding…where people accept you just for being who you are.

    Target is a better choice for your Christmas shopping ...

    The Human Rights Campaign is giving Wal-Mart (WMT) a red "do not buy" rating in its new consumer guide, bestowing a lump of coal on the retail giant just in time for the holiday shopping season.


    Citing Wal-Mart's refusal to offer domestic partner benefits to its gay and lesbian workers, the HRC said Tuesday that the USA's biggest private employer has "more work to do in furthering equality." It advised gays and their supporters to shop elsewhere.


    Wal-Mart rated a red 40 on a scale of 100, down from a yellow 65 in 2006. It was among 54 companies that scored 45 or lower in HRC's 2008 Corporate Equality index, which assigns ratings to 519 large companies. Also in the red: Toys R Us, RadioShack (RSH) and AutoZone (AZO).


    Wal-Mart rival Target (TGT) rated a "green" 80, meaning that "consumers should make every effort to support these businesses.
    "

    Last year's guide was downloaded from the group's website (www.hrc.org/buyersguide) more than 250,000 times.


    Avoid Wal-Mart when possible.


    >Wal-Mart shuns gay groups!




    If you shop at Wal-Mart you can find the same (or better) prices at Meijer, K-Mart, Family Dollar, Kroger, or Save-A-Lot. Stop shopping at Wal-Mart! Forget about the so called "convenience" of "everything" being in one store, it is time for the gay community to stand their ground against Wal-Mart.


    Let us forget for a moment that this company destroys the "American Dream," exploits their employees, and contracts labor for less than $1.00 per hour in other countries.


    Let us not forget that Sam Walton, Wal-Mart's founder sit on the Board of Directors of Winn-Dixie for nearly a decade (thereby learning the grocery business) and opened the first Supercenter (with groceries) less than a year after Winn-Dixie retired him.
    Let us not forget that Wal-Mart targets other stores to run th

    Did you know that in 31 states, it's perfectly legal to fire someone for being gay? Or that in 39 states it's legal to fire someone for being transgender? I think that's wrong. If you do too, take action at: http://www.passENDAnow.org
