Award-winning female manager was born a man
Of all those named in a new list of young female business leaders, Kate Craig-Wood has perhaps the most unusual success story. She was born male, and was able to afford a £50,000 sex change operation after developing a career in technology.
(Photo: MALCOLM CASE-GREEN - Born Robert Hardy Craig-Wood, she knew from an early age she should have been a woman but fear of the unknown meant she did not address the issue until her marriage began to fail.)

Istanbul Pride Parade 2009
Visitors to Istanbul's "European face" of Beyoglu got a bit more than they bargained for today as Istanbul's out GBLTT community capped off its Pride Week 2009 with the Istanbul Pride Parade.
Though I've been to my share of Pride Parades and usually had a good time, Istanbul Pride feels a bit more special to me, because with the exception of Indonesia, I'm not aware of Pride celebrations in any other predominantly Muslim country. Homosexuality is not illegal in Turkey, but aside from intense societal pressure to hide, conform, get married and have kids, there are also vague laws about behavior "contrary to general morals and customs" and "the Turkish family structure." Most recently this has been used as one pretext in an attempt by the Istanbul district governor to shut down Istanbul's prime Gay and Lesbian organization, Lambda Istanbul. So though there is a celebratory mood and a lot of laughter, the first purpose is still to tell the public "we're here, we're everywhere, accept it." There are no "Queers with Corgies" here.

India y Tailandia reconocen por ley un tercer sexo
En 2005, el gobierno de Tailandia adhirió un tercer sexo a los pasaportes de sus ciudadanos: E, de Eunuco; En la India, hay una tradición milenaria por los Hidrja, que son hombres vestidos de mujer
Gays, lesbianas, bisexuales y transexuales celebran hoy el día del orgullo gay, desconocedores en muchos casos de que en otras partes del mundo como en la India o Tailandia existe un tercer sexo, reconocido socialmente e incluso a veces por la ley.
El tercer sexo incluye a personas que no se consideran ni hombres ni mujeres, sino pertenecientes a un sexo intermedio.

Transgender woman heads back to UK for school reunion
School reunions can be a nerve-racking experience for anyone.
So spare a thought for the 39-year-old Brisbane anti-spamming expert Michelle Sullivan, who will next week travel to her former home town in the English county of Norfolk to see her past schoolmates for the first time in more than two decades.
It will be the first time she sees them as a woman.
The transgender Griffith University technical specialist began her transition from male to female with a course of testosterone blockers and then hormones two years ago but to her old friends at West Flegg High School near the city of Great Yarmouth, she was just the young boy from the schoolyard.
