SGGURLS 2023
SGGURLS an umbrella group that encompasses the spectrum of trangendrism in Singapore spanned 15 years to become the oldest surviving transgender group in Singapore.
The SGGURLs flag was designed by several very talented individuals who would have been stars in the graphic design world if they were not in our little marginalized world. The first design was done by Trish Leong on 2007. Her signature still emblazons the SGGURLS logo..
The design was modifed by Kayla when she was taking design classes.
10 years later, the design was improved by Carmen Victoria Love.
SGGURLS is 15 years old. It’s a testament to the principle that transgender is a spectrum and each individual chooses which part of the spectrum they are comfortable in. Why is SGGURLS different than past transgender group? There’s no leader in the group, only volunteers, organizers and clusters of friends. Secondly, SGGURLS does not point any of its participants to a particular destination such as full transitioning. SGGURLS members are very diverse. Each has very complex situation that the deal with. We don’t advise or prescribe. Each person is the captain of their lives. When we meet we talk about many things and share some of the trans hacks.
Yesterday was a very special day. An afternoon visit from a dear friend who founded SGGURLS with me. At night, a quiet celebration in a non-descript lesbian bar in Singapore’s lgbt belt with some friends. 95 clubstreet was one of our earliest favorite meeting point.
