Trans Dimensional Trans Superheroes is a community project, inspired by Heroes Unite, Heroes Alliance, Crossolverlord, and Crossoverkill, a well as an attempt to fill a void I see in superhero comics.
The comic will be about a cross-dimensional team of transgender and intersex superheroes, with characters and input by a variety of people. Basically, it's Heroes Unite/Alliance mixed with Crossoverlord/kill and focusing on trans characters. Or, in the terms of mainstream comics, it's the JLA or Avengers mixed with Marvel's Exiles with trans characters.
Go to the forum and peruse the ways you can get involved.

I rarely read superhero comic and think the "things only trans heroes can face" will maybe be a lil predictable(but who really knows). It is true that in comics it is not often seen but I've seen a lot of associations using the "trans heroes" things. However, don't take this too negatively, I still think it's a good initiative

Okay, I see what you're taking about now. I haven't read your comic in a while (my interests in superheroes have kind of overrode other things sometimes). I will maintain that I think there is a void of serious transgender superhero teams. Yours are done for comedy (and a heap of creepiness, espcially the Sisterhood of Womynhood--how could I forget them and their nightmare-inducing antics?). I do realize that organizing such an event is difficult, but I feel it can happen, and that it can be shaped into something worthwhile. Anything that can be done to show that the trans community is not just about transition stories is a good thing.

I've never heard of those teams. Could I get some links? I would love to check them out. And as far as what they would do, that's a great thing with collaboration. I want to create a team-up story to start with which has them unite for a threat which only they can face, or which other heroes are unwilling to face. A common thread amongst them might be lack of acceptance by cis superheroes towards allowing a trans person on their team, or a desire for solidarity. My first story would invove them starting as a support group to start with--a place where trans super-types from across universes can gather to just be themselves (even the ones not out in their own universe) and talk about their adventures--but which is called to action based on an extradimensional threat which they are the first to witness. I'm not saying the concept is the most steadfast. But I would hope to collaborate with other creators to fine-tune things and create something entertaining and which works. With input from multiple writers, I would hope to expand the scope from just my dea of what could happen to be what many would think should be the concept. And if anybody reads these comments and is wondering about Evelyn, her comic is [url=http://www.transgirldiaries.com]Trans Girl Diaries[/url] and is quite enjoyable.

The world already has Team Transtice and the Sisterhood of the Womynhood. What need is there for other heroes?! And what exactly would trans/intersex superheroes do?
