I am simply a woman - I just needed some help to get to be me. I transitioned in the 1980s, when the term didn't even exist; I underwent sex change surgery (now called gender reassignment) in the early 1990s. I am horrified by the increasing prejudice against transgender people in recent years and by our vilification both in traditional media and on social media. There is guidance before the UK Parliament which, if adopted, will push transgender people to the margins of society. You would think that we were evil incarnate, but the truth is rather more prosaic - we are just people, with jobs, partners, social lives, hobbies, and interests. Hence my taking these photos; that's one of the things I enjoy. I'd love # ArtPride and #ArtsPride to become A Thing; this is my small cupful poured into the pond of Pride. I've redacted my surname for privacy reasons. The majority of my photos here have been taken simply with my mobile phone (Samsung A23, seeing as you asked)...
