Transgender News 2

    Hi Everyone

     

    This is a follow up from my blog of mid August and as we head towards the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness it's interesting to look back at some trans news over the past few weeks.

     

    Sometimes we seem to only look at the negatives towards us as individuals and the trans community in general; yes we are part of the LGBT community, but often the T part seems like its just an add on.  

     

    This blog highlights some positive events from different parts of the world, not just the UK; and shows that our community does do lots of things that are uplifting...uplift means more than just wearing a balcony bra.

     

    hugs
