A lot has happened this month. We had
our first information evening which was held on
8th July in Glebe. Leo Turner from the
Andrology Unit at Concord Hospital gave a
talk about testosterone; we had 33 people attend
and received positive feedback from all.
In response to feedback from the evaluations,
we are now looking at organizing a top surgery
info evening and a transgender and the law info
evening. When more details are finalised we will
let you know. If anyone has ideas on information
evenings or resources to be developed please let
us know.
FTM Australia has been invited to the
Fifth International Congress on Sex and
Gender, 24-27th October in Perth. This is
very exciting as Jamison Green and Stephen
Whittle will be attending the conference.
Hopefully, James Green will come over to Sydney
after Perth for the Health in Difference
Conference early November.
FTM Australia has applied to participate in
the Health in Difference Conference in
Sydney, so we will know more in early
August.
The board is also looking into Incorporation.
We need to complete a great deal of work to make
FTM Australia ready for Incorporation, so
hopefully we will have the model rules completed
by the end of the year.
This means that the Annual General Meeting is
likely to be held over until the New Year. This
will give the current board ample time to
complete the tasks ahead of them.
cheers,
Jack, FTMA President
