Our children aren't pink or blue - but rather - various
shades of purple.
TransKids
Purple Rainbow Foundation Mission
Statement & Goals
TKPRF
is committed to the premise that Gender Identity Disorder
is something a child can't control and it is society that
needs to change, not them.
TKPRF will
strive to encourage families to allow their children the
ability to grow-up free of gender roles.
TKPRF is committed
to enhancing the future lives of TransKids by educating
schools, peers, places of worship, the medical community,
government bodies, and society in general, in an effort
to seek fair and equal treatment of all transyouth.
TKPRF is committed
to supporting TransKids in their school systems so they
may receive equal rights in order to ensure a safe and bully
free education. TKPRF
is committed to funding research to study the current plight
and challenges of the transchild. There are currently no
formal studies, or data that can help guide parents
when making decisions for treatment. Families are often
met by resistance and healthcare professionals that give
them incorrect, and at times, detrimental medical advice.
There is an urgent need for curriculum changes in universities
and medical school to meet the needs of all transgender
individuals.
TKPRF plans
to reach out to the homeless youth and those that have no
where else to turn. Funds for healthcare, surgery and scholarships
can be made available to transyouth in need.
TKPRF is aware
that sex and gender are seen and used interchangeable in
legal arenas. These two entities are very separate and need
to be divided. It is time for the politicians to listen
and for the medical professionals to speak up. It is time
for the young voices of TransKids to be heard.
