My Transsexual Summer

New series. Seven transgender men and women convene at a summer retreat, where they share a mutual understanding of what it is like to be a transsexual in Britain today. In various stages of gender reassignment, members of the group share experiences and provide an insight into the problems and prejudices they face in everyday life, and build the support network they need to reach their long-term goals

Article in today's Guardian

Yesterday's Daily Telegraph has a very sympathetic interview with April Ashley, one of the pioneering TGs in the UK

Very interesting interview with Richard O'Brien (Rocky Horror) in The Times, where he admits he is T*.

I saw this while browsing TV program descriptions

Tuesday, 26 May BBC3 TV 22:30 "Bizarre Animal ER"

Currently, various details of British MPs' "expenses" have become public knowledge (much to the dismay of the Parliamentary swine).

Well written article by GG on TG problems

If you've registered on their website, you can add comments

Reported in Friday's Independent newspaper TG Body Swap series "Boy Meets Girl" on ITV1, starts May 1st.

15:15 Fri 16 Jan, Channel 5 "A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story"

One of those strange but true stories. What I'd like to know is WHY a men's magazine was shipping inflatable breasts? Can any Australian readers of "Ralph" magazine enlighten us?

... you may enjoy this piece.

(I claim it's relevant, because two men competed)

The UK magazine "New Scientist" has a report of an Austrian study that suggests a genetic contribution to FTM transexuality

The Daily Telegraph has an article about a man who has developed abnormally high levels of oestrogen but the doctors don't know why. The report uses the word "natural", but ff this had happened in a story on this site, it wouldn't have been "natural".

I came across this BBC article about the UK's "Child Exploitation and Online Protection centre" which is somewhat similar to Allie Burns' department.

Perhaps, one day, we will see Allie visiting the UK?
