My background is in nursing and we’re currently running a poll to feed back issues to healthwatch Brighton following concerns regarding surgical delays.

I’d love to both link to your site and be an affiliate, and was very impressed with your statement on racism, cultural appropriation and safer spaces.

Transiness works by encouraging a positive “feel” among trans people, combining positive affirmations with signposting (mental health/ other support groups) and positive news stories. We are frequented by well known activists, like Jenny Ann Bishop, Carol Steele, Alex Drummond and we integrate with local and UK support groups, advertising their events and networking people to available resources.

Although we are not a political pressure group, sometimes issues that are affecting everyone can become political which is why we are taking action now. We also believe that sharing information about current trans issues and what is happening helps our members to feel heard.

Thank-you 🙂
