Pride London 2007 sponsored a one day conference in June, organised by Transfabulous. The event, attended by over 100 people, drew international as well as UK trans activists together to spend time working actively on issues connected with health, the workplace, visibility, safety, privacy, families, friends and lovers.
Christine began her keynote address by reflecting on how the world had changed in 30 years and the way in which both trans people and the campaign challenges had evolved in the light of legislative changes achieved in the last decade. She reflected on each of the themes for the conference and urged people to strive for quality as a mark of their growing sense of worth. Tongue in cheek, she also offered a new way of describing people who aren’t as colourfully diverse as ourselves.
