SgButterfly

SgButterfly, better known as SgB, is an online portal founded on the 5th Oct 2005, designed and dedicated for Singapore's Transgender Community as a platform in providing goodwill information and raising awareness about Transgender people in Singapore.

The website serves as a proper channel for interested parties to discuss issues and voice opinions that help contributes to a better understanding of the Transgendered group.

SgB hopes to promote awareness of this growing community by reaching out to the general public in order to gain understanding. By working hand in hand with other LGBT communities, and local & international groups and their related sites, SgB's forum actively exchange ideas and provides relevant information that yields different opinions which reflects the voices and lifestyle of Singapore's Transgender Community from all walks of life.

Brief History
The SgB project was initiated by Mr Daniel Kaw with the help of 3 sista (layman language in Singapore Transgender Community to address a Male-to-Female Transsexual). The idea was first thought off when Daniel was introduce to the world of Transgenderism in Singapore by a sista, which gives him the insight into the joy and sorrow of Transsexuals.

Due to the lack of online information, the initial set-up was not easy. The portal only able to reach out to the net savvy people and hoping that those who has a close feeling towards transgender will step into the portal and create the online community presence.

Objective
SgB also aims to reach out to the new generation of transgendered individuals and look into their ways of living, adapting and adjusting to the modern social and working lifestyle in Singapore. SgB encourages her people to step out and interact and most importantly build a close bonding between themselves to share valuable personal experiences.
