TransAlba
was formed in 2001 as a result of a meeting between Andrea and Cath
Brown and Caroline Crozier at the Pride Scotland march in Edinburgh.
Both
Andrea and Caroline are post-op transsexual women, and Cath is
Andrea’s wife.
Over
the course of the day, it became apparent through our conversations that
although there were plenty of excellent support groups in the area,
there was nothing specifically for transsexuals. We therefore decided to
form TransAlba Transsexual Support.
Since
then we have campaigned tirelessly for the rights of transsexuals,
especially male to female throughout Scotland and beyond. Our experience
and expertise is now recognized by the Scottish Parliament, NHS Scotland
and all the Scottish Police Forces.
We
work very closely with other groups and agencies such as Equality
Network, Press for Change and GIRES.
We
operate a helpline for transsexuals, their partners, families and
friends every Wednesday evening from 7.00pm to
9.00pm. You can contact us by phoning either:
0781
846 7512 or 07930 880 410
We
also hold a “drop-in” on the third Saturday of every month from
2.00pm to 4.00pm at:
Café
Sala
Broughton Street
Edinburgh
Please feel free to call in and have a chat and a cuppa!
You
can also e-mail us on:
contact@grs-wales.net
Finally,
we are currently working with Age Concern Scotland and Equality Network
regarding the needs of older “T” people, and we’d like to hear
from you if you feel that are “older”, or if you have any anxieties
about getting older.
