The Beaumont Society is a human rights organisation based in the United Kingdom, which is run by transgender people to support their community.
Founded in 1966, and named after Chevalier d'Eon, it provides social support for transgender people, and legal and medical information for practitioners in those fields.
[4] In 1969 Virginia Prince, the American founder of FPE, visited Britain, generating publicity for the Beaumont Society.
The society's annual dinner was held at Broadcasting House in the 1970s and 1980s, subsequently moving to new Kensington Town Hall.
[13] In 1978, Friends of Eon was established, as a sister organisation to the Beaumont Society but to provide support for transgender people in the Republic of Ireland.
[4] The publication referred to its readers as 'girls',[6] and included tips on make-up application and buying clothes, especially those in larger sizes.
