Our mission is to provide the very best comprehensive education and caring support to Transgender individuals and those close to them. This is accomplished through offering a variety of carefully selected programs and resources focused on the factors affecting their lives and significant others.
ROSE is a non judgemental Transgender organization and understands the diverse difference between Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation. We respect each individuals uniqueness, and help them to understand themselves beyond our society's definition of gender. We help those individuals whose internal conflict causes crisis within their lives to better understand the very emotional trauma associated with gender identity so they may increase their own sense of worth to society and themselves. We also understand that the spouses and significant others of Transgender individuals require substantial support so that they too can understand the reason for their love ones Transgender life, issues and problems and how to cope with a Transgender spouse or significant other in their life.
ROSE is dedicated to helping educate society to understand that Transgender individuals are normal human beings and well adjusted individuals. To meet that need, ROSE maintains an educational and consulting component of unique individuals comfortable with providing public education, to Colleges, Universities, Schools, Employers, Unions and Churches when the need arises. This is an aspect, available only to those who wish to take part and not required for membership.
We believe that today's Questioning Youth require the same degree of support and information as an adult, and to meet that need maintain a youth component as an integral part of the group Educating both Parents and Youths about Transgenderism allowing a Youth positive personal growth and understanding parents. ROSE also accepts membership from parents of their Transgender questioning youth, so that they may have access to all possible resources in understanding the emotional trauma of today's questioning youth.
Membership in ROSE is open to anyone who identifies with the term "Transgender" be they Cross Dresser's, Transsexual, Drag Queen, Female Impersonator, Inter Sexed, Male to Female, Female to Male, regardless of race, creed, color, religion, nationality or sexual orientation.
We are a non-profit support group, dedicated to providing the highest possible caliber of support and Transgender Education to our members and visitors. Our activities are based on the needs of our members, visitors and the Transgender community.
ROSE further supports a Transgender Couples discussion group intended for those in a married or similar relationship that have told their wives, husbands, girl friends, boy friends or intended. It is a venue for sharing thoughts and ideas with other Transgender individuals to help those who are struggling with the issues of Transgenderism. This group is especially important for the wives or significant other who need an interaction with those in a similar situation to their own.
ROSE is here to reach-out to anyone who needs help and provide a safe haven for those who want to get out and be themselves among others like themselves. Come join our meetings and meet new friends and maybe old acquaintances and enjoy our Programs. We are open to all crossdressers, transsexual ( both MtF and FtM ) and gender variant individuals, spouses, and significant other of legal age regardless of gender, race, creed, or sexual orientation as well as to interested medical and mental health professionals.
