BABOYZ serves the Bay Area FTM/SOFFA communities (i.e. those born female-bodied or intersexed who now identify as male or masculine in some way including transmen, FTMs, F2Ms, boydykes, drag kings, etc.) and their significant others, friends, families, and allies.

The BABOYZ mailing list serves the FTM/SOFFA communities of the San Francisco Bay Area in California by providing an announcement board for local events and for legal news relevant to trans* communities, as well as a discussion forum for local community issues.

Anybody can participate on BABOYZ, regardless of their location, but the list discussion will focus on the "greater San Francisco Bay Area," which is very loosely defined as the counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, and Sonoma. Plus, BABOYZ will occassionally venture outside the Bay Area to encompass California- and nation-wide legal and current event news. (BABOYZ is not affiliated with the American Boyz.)

Other search parameters include: transexual, transsexual, transgender, SOFFA, FTM, F2M, female-to-male, bigender, metamorph, male-identified, male-gendered, gender, s ex reassignment, tomboy, tranz, and/or trans.
