In The News: pre-1996

Before 1996, Press For Change didn’t have a website, and so we have very few news items from that period available for the website.  However, we are catching up: older material is being scanned in where appropriate, and we hope to add to this section some of the more significant stories from a period which seems increasingly distant.

If a week is a long time in politics, four years seems like an eternity: in 1995, we hadn’t yet seen the Alex Carlile Bill debated in the Commons; the landmark P versus S case had not yet been won, so transsexual people were not in those days as being protected by the Sex Disrimination Act.  Dana International was unknown outside Israel … and hadn’t yet had the chance to show just how accepting the public has become of trans people.
