Motown, this year, some time in the future

I just discovered this link to anyone interested in Northern Soul and Motown music.

BBC iPlayer - Northern Soul with Ian Gray: 19/12/2010

I also noticed that I haven't made many posts this year. It has actually been a busy year with some major changes in my life - no not THAT! I will try harder to make more posts next year.

That's me about to go to the Enigma Ball in Bletchley Park, November 2010.


I will say that I have published pics of me as Gabriela on my male Facebook page . I did it because I wasn't comfortable about having to keep an important part of my life a secret any more. I felt that as I am not ashamed of what I do and do not think it wrong in any way, I should follow my convictions and not bow to the prejudice, perceived or real, of society.


I know that there will be smirks from friends and relatives, as being transgendered is still largely an area of ignorance in most people's lives. I hope the more open minded ones will realise that perhaps it is more common than they have thought in the past, as now there is one in their own family or circle of friends. Perhaps this may help a few more people towards more understanding of transgendered people.

In time I hope that society will just accept that everyone is different.
