This morning I start my talks with local police on transgender awareness, quite daunting, but I was asked to do it by senior officers, so I'll give it my best efforts.

All in all there are 6 weekly talks between now and December, so wish me well. This is part of the diversity voluntary work I do in my local community.

OK good luck...:D...you are doing something important...if you can help them understand us...you may help them prevent a crime or suicide...or bring someone to justice...

Hi Zenith, Jessica, Sharon and everyone,

I had my first talk today, it went really well, I even had some officers coming up to thank me for what i did and said, and the training officers said they were pleased with how it went also, and thats what matters, that things sink in and that those who attend learn something which they can encorporate into their everyday work should they need it.

Next one is next Monday 10th.

Yours

Stephanie

Steph, do you need any assistance from others who have done similar things? You know Ruth S and Rikki, from another site, who have done similar work (Rikki does it professionally).

I wish you the very best of luck and I do hope it helps you, personally.

Hi Stephanie, Nicki, Mariah and Susan

Thanks, it was very positive, having officers come up and thank me afterwards was really affirming of why I was there .
