Jamison - James - Green is an internationally respected leader within
the US Transgender movement and beyond. A powerful speaker and
compelling writer, he is an acknowledged inspiration to many - trans
and non-trans alike. He is the current chairman of the board of Gender
Education and Advocacy Inc. (GEA), and a board member of both the
Transgender Law and Policy Institute and the World Professional
Association for Transgender Heath (formerly the Harry Benjamin society).
In addition he is also a member of the Human Rights Campaign’s Business
Council, a board member of the Equality Project, and an advisory member
of the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE). Before these
appointments he was the leader of FTM International Inc from March 1991
till August 1999. Christine Burns caught up with James when he took part
in the June 2007 Trans With Pride conference in London. During a break
for lunch the two activists took a walk in the sun outside in the sun
and Christine asked James for his perspectives on how trans activism
differs on the opposite sides of the Atlantic.
