Over the past year or so I have been watching with interest to see what the stars of My Transsexual Summer have been making of their lives. Most of them were fairly newly into their transition, and I know from experience that a lot of personal development can happen after that. I certainly had no idea where life would take me.

One of the most interesting developments is that Fox and Lewis have set up a film production company that is making short documentaries about trans people. You can find out more about the project, and watch their films, here. The reason I am writing this post, however, is that I specifically wanted to share the new film that they released yesterday. It is called “Tranpa”, and it features a trans man who began his transition back in the 1960s. Some people, of course, did manage to make a success of it back then, but if you approached the medical authorities when you were still legally a minor things could get very bad indeed.

It is good to remember how far we have come.
