ABOUT US
Lifelines Rhode Island: Accepting People As We Find Them.
Founded in October, 2006 by Y. Gavriel Ansara, Lifelines Rhode Island is currently offering support and
community though the Borderlands Support Group. This group is open to all transgender, transsexual, Two Spirit,
gender variant, and intersex (TGI) people in Rhode Island and surrounding regions. We are here for you and your
friends, partners, co-workers, service providers, and families.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Lifelines Rhode Island believes that all people deserve full equal rights, regardless of their sex designations at
birth, gender identities, or anatomical configurations. This includes the fundamental civil right of all people to
determine their social and legal gender(s), to access resources for medical transition to align their physical bodies
more closely with their body concept or "hardwiring" (sometimes called "neurological sex" or "kinesthetic sex"), and
to be free from the unwanted surgical and hormonal alterations often inflicted upon people whose bodies do not fit
common definitions of "male" or "female". This includes both people with binary man/woman gender identities
and/or male/female body concepts, as well as people whose gender identities and/or body concepts do not fit
within a binary model.
We understand the diversity of identity and experience among TGI people.
