The Transgender 2007 Conference took place at the University of East Anglia during the weekend of 16th-17thJune, and drew many speakers to talk about the historical and contemporary issues concerning trans people’s lives. Christine Burns began her presentation on present day issues with a recap of events spanning almost eighty years - from Lily Elbe to the Department of Health’s Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Advisory Group (SOGIAG), pointing clearly to things that still need to change.
