The Permanence Project is a collection of personal stories and insights from those that do not identify with their gender assigned at birth and their parents, assembled by a member of the transgender community. These stories are collected via interview in a safe, one-on-one setting, in person or virtually. These stories are then compiled and published anonymously as an anthology to be shared with the community.
-
To provide non-cis people of all backgrounds and their parents an open, affirming platform to tell their stories and to read stories of others like them
-
To dispel stereotypes and misinformation about the community
-
To assist families and allies who want to be better supporters of our community
-
To act as a discreet resource for closeted, isolated or disenfranchised individuals who need extra support

About me
Editor/Interviewer
Angela Wicke (she/her)
I am an LGBTQ+ rights activist and writer based in southeast CT. After living most of my life in the closet disconnected from the rest of the trans community, I started transitioning and came out as a transgender woman publicly in the fall of 2020.
​
By creating the Permanence Project, I hope to enable other transgender individuals to share their stories and experiences, free from censorship or judgement, and read about others like them in a safe, discrete, and unfiltered setting. To all transgender individuals and their parents from all backgrounds and creeds across the nation: You Are Not Alone.
​
In my free time, I can usually be found rewriting my first novel for the tenth time, replaying the same Pokemon game for the hundredth time, or dilating for what feels like the thousandth time.
