We currently run an online video campaign. Through the videos we are sending a new and positive message to all LGBT people to let them know there are people in the world like them who are proud to be who they are. We have just received a wonderful video from Stephen Fry and have videos from Peter Tatchell, deputy speaker Nigel Evans MP, Michael Cashman MEP, London Gay Men’s Chorus, Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus and Fox from channel 4′s ‘My Transsexual Summer’ (All of which can be seen on our youtube channel).

We thought you were great on ‘My Dad Is A Woman’ and feel you are a great role model for the LGBT community. We would love you to be part of this new message. All you have to do is record a short and simple Proud2Be video stating who you are and who you are proud to be. For example: I am (name) and I am proud to be (however you identify). Please feel free to look at our website to see if this is a project you would like to support. For any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Many Thanks

Not no longer.. not no way.. civil disobedience is on the way and that includes the tg/ts community. We are facing extinction by dictat of state policy.. and the days of asking nicely hoping to be heard are well and truly over.

Interesting times ahead, and probably plenty to write about soon, but maybe not all of it “agreeable” to the old guard.

I saw a comment on another trans-blog site earlier today when the writer was sticking to the old school establishment line. Ask nicely children.. and they might throw you a bone in maybe 10 more years… And the comment was…
“stick your fat paid mouthpiece job.. traitor!!.. part of the problem, not part of the solution.. watch your back!”
These are the words of the angry, people who feel they are shut out by the professional “trans lobby”, people getting older watching their lives tick away on sink estates with no hope of ever getting work to fund treatments.. watching the lucky few “speak” for them without ever asking first.

The future looks interesting.. it’s not IF it goes up any more, it’s when!! The 40 somethings who have made nice livings “representing” the trans community are seen as the enemy.. the establishment.. the ladder pullers and supporters of the rule makers.. Either they wake up and smell the coffee, or they will be thrown aside with the rest of the oppressors!!! Being trans is no longer reserved for the middle class professionals..They would like it to be kept that way, but it’;s too late.. the genie is out of the bottle. There is a new working class grass roots movement out here, full of students, activists, street protesters, excluded unemployed, and it has no time for the priveleged slamming the doors behind them.

There will be plenty to write about in the very near future.. the time is now xxxx

Interested in your blogs concerning leisure centres and i cant believe the lengths that you was made to go through in order to enjoy a simple swim. I am currently writing procedures for our Leisure Remit in terms of accessibility and easing customers through what can be a daunting process. I would like if you would allow me to use some paragrpahs from your blog and recreate into a case study of what shouldnt happen. If you happy with this can you email me back. tracey.williams2@swansea.gov.uk.
Thanks a million xx

It is all to with informing the government’s transgender action plan.

Hope your hospital visit goes well!

I knew you many moons ago at Commercial Union. You seemed a lost soul, but it seems like you’ve now found your way. Good luck with the operation and I hope it brings you everything you wished for.
