TransBucket was invented and designed between June-July 2009 after the unfortunate demise of transster, a surgery photosharing website exclusively for FTMs. Our vision was to create a site that would be a health care and surgery resource for the entire online trans community, from ftms to mtfs to genderqueers, allies, and everyone else who could benefit from knowing what's out there. We also have incorporated a forum feature and are constantly working to adapt the site to the needs and wishes of the individuals using it.
The name "transbucket" was created very late at night, and is supposed to be a play off of a popular photo uploading and sharing site online.
