Especially because of the work we all do. :) Warmly, Darlene

  I have finished your podcast while stuffing 500 envelopes for a mail out. Your podcast made the boring mail out so much easier. Thank you very much. You have had a fascinating life and I feel privileged that you have shared it with me. You are a legend, I had to deal with many trans people organising the Cairns conference. However most were just shadows and not very many at all were the shining stars that you are. Take care my friend and keep smiling - Brad.

  I dedicate this to all Trans women as they strive to reach their known gender/sex. I also dedicate it to those
  who are repeatedly abused physically, sexually and mentally. To those who, are denied their rights to change
  their documentation, or are incarcerated in prison and left to the problems that will present. I dedicate this to
  those who suffer from all forms of frustration, depression and legal abuse. Most of all I dedicate this to those
  who are “bashed, raped, murdered and suicide due to the untold pressures we face”.

  We need compassion and empathy to understand our many problems. We are not complex.
  It is the system that creates the complexities.
