Hello
This month Vogue Magazine carries an article regarding the increased exposure (please, no sniggering) of Transexuality within the media. It goes as far as saying - and I paraphrase because my wife has dared to take her magazine with her, 'That Transexuals are Having a Moment'.
Are we, what might it mean to us, what does it mean to you. Discuss.

Well recently 2 things caught my eye , Louis Theroux Documentary Transgender kids in USA. Als there was a Daily Mail story concering the large amout of young people in UK seeking GP and GIC help and resources being overloaded now. I think there will be more attention given over to Transgender Issues in the coming months and in the media particularly young 18 -30 age group...And yes the media will tip their toes in ,what will they make of the Danish Girl etc.
I particularly sense this in the UK.- Health issues are prominent and in these political times with many elections going on.
Its a moment for sure. For myself I am apprehensive that some of the "old " ignorances and standpoints come up,one of which is the view that Transgender people should not be entitled to treatment as they are depriving others from health resources.
in this way more exposure , makes me feel more vulnerable personally[ I just want to quietly live my life.
