  This morning as part of the Mike Sweeney programme on Radio Manchester between 9.00 and 10.00 am Mike interviewed Ashleigh Talbot, a M to F transwoman in transition. The relevant part is in the first hour and stars about 15-20 minutes into the broadcast.  Mike has been interviewing Ashleigh for about 3 years now - she goes a few times a year and they chat live on air about her journey.  

   

   

  In addition CN Lester, who is non binary was also on the programme, publicising her book "trans like me", which will be published this Thursday 25 May.

   

  CN Lester is an academic, musician and leading UK trans rights activist. A critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, Lester also works as a composer and classical performer; their musicological research focuses on Venetian composer Barbara Strozzi. Lester consults and educates on trans issues with a wide range of organizations, including Channel 4 and the Huffington Post, and has written for the Independent, New Internationalist and New Statesman.
