Transwomen transitioning on the BBC

    This is a film made by BBC Scotland charting the lives of 5 trans women of different ages and backgrounds. They called it Transsexual Stories, I guess to get publicity.

     

    I was recommended to watch it by my ex wife, who said that she now understands us much better. I found it very moving and both poignant and uplifting as it is about ordinary everyday people like you and me - not celebrity trans people like Caitlyn Jenner.

     

    Sadly only those of you who live in the UK can watch it on the BBC iPlayer.  There is a link to help lines that are available in the UK.

     

    hugs
