What is the Seahorse Society? The Seahorse Society of New South Wales is a non-profit social and support organisation for cross-dressers and transgender people in New South Wales, Australia. It is the longest running and best-known organisation of its type in Australia, having begun in 1971.

Why the name "Seahorse"? The name "Seahorse" was adopted because "it is a rather delightful creature, a trifle slow but with graceful movement and quiet dignity" and because of its "combination, at times, of both gender roles."
