TG Leather
The purpose of this group is to discuss BDSM/lether/fetish/kink from a transgendered perspective. How do we deal with gender in our play, how do you find groups that are trans-friendly to play in? How does your relationship change with the leather communities you used to belong to now that you've transitioned or your gender no longer fits in a neat little box? Tired of restricted leather lists where you used to belong but don't anymore...? Looking for a queer, trans leather list? Here it is... SOFFA's or non-transgendered play partners of TG leatherfolk are also welcome!

Leather Butch
[Ed. Note: this list is not overtly Trans inclusive, but open to genderqueer "women"]
This is a list for Butch Leatherwomyn and the womyn who love them. A place for Lesbian leatherwomyn who identify as butch ... be it as a Sir, Master, Lord, Daddy or Butch Top ... to meet with the womyn who love them - submissives, bottoms, femmes, tombois, bois or grrls. It is a place to meet others who identify with the butch dynamics within the Leather Community. Expect scenes, erotica and sexual content in the discussions. Protocol of the Leather community will be followed and respect shown as appropriate. You should be a serious member or potential member of the Lesbian Leather/BDSM community, no matter what the level of experience. A place to learn from others with more experience. A place to pass on the knowledge. No trolling, wannabes, fakes or men.

Leather_boy
This list is a pansexual forum for Leatherfolk who play as boys, and those who love them. Being a boy can be more than being a butch bottom or submissive male; it's about energy. Let's talk about what makes us boys in Leather. Subjects might include: ageplay, BDSM, D/s, internalization of the boy role, service issues, negotiation issues, packin', good scenes, bad scenes, etc. Posting is encouraged, so please don't join just to lurk. Remember: there are no dumb questions, just disrespectful ones. No file attachments permitted.

ftmbdsm
