Well, this week I have spent a lot of time researching! This is what I think: We should start out in Wilmington and then take a trip to Chapel Hill and other places for interviews because it seems as if there are so GREAT programs out there. Below are just some that sounded interesting. I am working on organizing these into lists by location, and professions, then we can all look at the websites together to choose who we want to contact, and see what we are missing, and what we don't need.
People I found in Wilmington:
Louise Hahn, MA, NCC: She is "nationally certified counselor specializing in gender-related issues.
Alpha Counseling Center: they run a transgender group by wrightsville
Ralph W Fox II, Ph. D: works with transgender clients
On mondays at 7pm its gay and lesbian AA and the 4th monday of every month, at St. Jude's Metropolitian Community Church there are there are PFLAG (parents families and friends or Lesbians and Gays)
I also think we need to find a consevative chruch and maybe a program that tries to make gay people stright.
We also have Cape Fear Acad. 7th graders (my moms class) and Chris also got some High School Students, I think we need some really young kids, (has anyone seen the 7up series? little kids sometimes have telling answers)
Other people/groups not in Wilmington:
Kindered spirits located in Black Mountian, NC Its a group that focuses on the speritual journey of transgendered people
Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Life at Duke University, Durham
North Carolina Gay and Lesbian Attorneys: Would be VERY interesting to get some legal insight! Durham, NC 27702
Equality North Carolina Political Action Committee and Equality in Raleigh
NC TG Unity in Raleigh
Triangle Transgender Support in Chapel Hill
Triad Gender Association in Greensboro
Lisa Griffin, Ph.D: She specializes in gender issues and also there is Kimball Jane Sargent, in Raleigh who also specializes in gender issues, including the transgendered.

Wow, you weren't kidding when you said you had already done the interviewee list. I had no idea you had posted all of this!
Think of it this way. This will give you a good chance to think about the project from yet a different angle. Always good to know it inside out.
I am also very interested in the attorny's point of view and what they do and have to deal with.
I didn't even think of the legalism side of it all.
Awesome job!
WOW, It looks like you've really done your research. Now all you have to do is start booking people for interviews that are on that list! Great job so far! I'm excited about your project!
