The Transgender Economy: Our Money is as Good as Your Money!

Newport Beach, CA (Sept 22, 2008) ‘“ Queercents (http://www.queercents.com), a personal finance blog serving the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, announced the launch of its series on transgender finances entitled: Our Money is as Good as Your Money!

This groundbreaking series, written by Ashley A. Wilson, helps address the needs of the transgender community with personal and relevant posts about finances. In the coming weeks, Wilson shares her thoughts with readers about the unique financial situations impacting transsexuals:

  • Sometimes it’s Ugly: Health Insurance and the Transgender Community.
  • Gender, Hormones and Health Insurance: ‘œWe Don’t Cover That!’

  • How Are You Going to Pay for Gender Reassignment Surgery?
  • Doctors, Healthcare Givers and Transsexuals: Discrimination Happens

By day, Wilson is a fundraising and development consultant serving not-for-profit organizations. She has a BS in Journalism from Temple University and an MS in Library and Information Science from Drexel University. As a Queercents contributor, Wilson writes in a practical, hands-on way intended to help the transgender community navigate the complex world of transitioning and acclimate to a financial life in a different gender. Money matters in more ways than one!
