Ok - so I made it up.- I think
But March 9th does commemorate the first legal sex change operation in the world back in 1952.
Transsexuals are amongst the most maligned group of people and face constant prejudice in their lives. The sad thing is that most of it is unintentional. But many crave the automatic rights now given to genetic women. Even the legal right become one with their inner gender was only allowed in Japan as recently as 1998. In the Uk legal rights occured in 2004 but problems still exist in employment, housing, and many other areas - often as fundamental as being able to go to the toilet in safety.
Granted, many like myself find 'awareness' difficult -seeing transsexualism as a stepping stone and not an objective. But please - spare a kind and considerate thought on March 9th for the transsexuals of this world, one may live in your street.
For those wishing to celebrate it states on the web that Electrowerkz in Islington, London are holding a cross-dressing Neo-Rave.(General fact non swinging related)

Wow, the first one in 52?? I would have thought it was much later.. smile
I remember when one of our local coucillors was in the media when she was going through the first stages of being accepted for an op. Dressing in female clothes when your already in the public limelight isn't for the lighthearted and when she tried to join the womens committee...... confused :?
Time are changing Tina... lets hope in the future its even better eh? kiss
