National Trans Police Association Launched
National Trans Police Association criticised over state funding
The police association will offer support to trans members
National Trans Police Association criticised over state funding
A national body for trans and intersex police officers will be officially launched and recognised by the police service in March.
The National Trans Police Association (NTPA) has been running for two years but will be able to apply for state funding once it
becomes officially recognised by the UK police service.
Chairwoman Stephenie Robinson said: ‘’We are very excited that we are now going to be officially recognised by both the UK
police service and the wider transgender community in the UK. It has taken us two years to reach this point, and a lot of hard work
and struggle. But possible funding for the group has already been attacked as a waste of taxpyayers' money.
Matthew Elliott, of campaign group the TaxPayers' Alliance, told the Daily Express last night: "The police force should welcome
people of every gender, sexuality, creed and race. "However, they should be united in the fight against crime, not divided into
competing politically correct campaign groups.
"Even if people think it's productive to form cliques within the police, there is no way we should be diverting money from catching
criminals." As yet, the NTPA has not been granted funding in the same way that other bodies such as the Gay Police Association
are.
However, press officer Martha Hand said the NTPA would be seeking funding in April.
A spokeswoman from the Association of Police Chief Officers (ACPO) told PinkNews.co.uk: "A police service which reflects our
society is vital to increasing the confidence that all communities can have in it.
Although ACPO regards its relationship with these staff associations as hugely valuable, ACPO is not responsible for the setting up
or the running of staff associations.”
The group is to be launched at Bramshill police staff college in Hook, North Hampshire, on March 17th.
Robinson said the launch could feature a few "high-profile figures".

France has removed transsexualism from an official list of mental
illnesses, according to an order issued by the French Ministry of
Health reported Friday by French news media. The order issued
Wednesday removed “gender identity disorders” from an article

Transman Expecting Third Child
Thomas Beatie has announced that he will give birth once more.
The so-called "pregnant man", a FTM transexual, underwent sexual reassignment therapy in 2002. The former
Hawaiian beauty queen retained his female reproductive organs in the hopes that he would someday have children.
Beatie garnered international attention after an April 2008 appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show in which he,
along with wife Nancy, announced their pregnancy. To break the news of the couple's third pregnancy, Beatie wrote
in to The Advocate.
"Hiding a pregnant man is like hiding an 800-pound gorilla", he said. "Nancy and I wanted to tell our story from our
own mouths before it got out."

| Australian group calls for trans Facebook option The group called for a 'trans' gender option An Australian lobby group has said that Facebook users should be given the option of listing themselves as trans because the ‘male’ and ‘female’ options are too narrow. Brisbane’s Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays Association told the Courier-Mail that lots of trans people wanted another option. Group spokeswoman Shelley Argent said: “They should definitely do it and they’d be quite surprised by how many people there are in the community who are transgender that do use Facebook.” However, some of those commenting on the article argued that the majority of trans people preferred to describe themselves as their acquired gender. One wrote: “Being a transgender person myself, why the hell would I select transgender, when I know what sex I identify as?” Facebook product manager Naomi Gleit said users had the choice of removing references to their gender entirely from their accounts and profiles. |
Cuba pays for gender reassignment surgery
March 10, 2010 - 17:35
Mariela Castro told reporters about the change yesterday
Cuba has begun paying for trans men and women to have gender reassignment surgery.
Mariela Castro, the daughter of President Raul Castro and niece of former leader Fidel, confirmed to reporters yesterday that
the country began paying for the procedures in 2008.
Gender reassignment surgery was effectively banned in Cuba in 1988, when the first such procedure caused an outcry. It was
only legalised in 2007.
Eight trans people are thought to have had state-funded surgery in the last two years, while another 22 are waiting for their
procedures.
Ms Castro is the head of Cuba’s National Centre for Sexual Education and is the country's best known gay rights advocate.
It was her who lobbied the state to lift the ban, although she said the change was never made public to avoid controversy.
She told Associated Press: "These processes of negotiation are sometimes done very quietly, so as not to stir up ghosts."
However, she would not confirm how much the procedures cost.
Sexual diversity was seen by Fidel Castro as a corrupt consequence of capitalism and trans people were treated with the same
suspicion and prejudice as gays.
Homosexual sex was partially decriminalised in Cuba in 1979 and an equal age of consent was introduced in 1992.
While social attitudes towards gay people are generally negative, the capital city Havana has a thriving gay scene.
Under Castro, who ruled from 1959 until 2007, many gay men suffered in Cuban labour camps as the regime ‘re-educated’
homosexuals.
Gays were incarcerated in Military Units to Aid Production between 1965 and 1968.
Castro believed that hard work would rid the men of their “counter-revolutionary tendencies".
