    Hi all,

     

    I am a student freelancer in Southampton, currently in my final months studying at Southampton Solent University.

     

    I'm in the process of developing a feature that looks at transphobia in aspects of society, and how people cope with the transition from one gender to another.

     

    Would anyone be willing to share a story with me? I appreciate that this is a private journey, but any help would be very beneficial.

     

    If you need more information please do not hesitate to contact me.

     

    best,

     

    Gary Peters

    Hiya Gary, firstly you must know a bit about social attitudes and acceptance, then a little about the diversity of transgenderism. suggest you study a couple of forum threads
