About Gender DynamiX

Gender DynamiX is the first African based organisation solely focussing on the transgender community.

The aim of Gender DynamiX is to create awareness and visualise transgenderism.

The aim is to provide help, advise and information for those who seek to adjust their lifes to live in the opposite gender role, as to that assigned to them at birth, or who are working to come to terms with their situation despite their genetic background.

Gender DynamiX provides resources, information and support to trans folks, their partners, family employers and the public.
