Transsexualism In The UK

What does the Gender Recognition Bill mean for the UK's transgender community?

In the UK, the Gender Recognition Bill will offer transgender men and women the opportunity to be recognised as such, for the first time. In some parts of the world, transsexuals face persecution and even death. Transgender woman Claire McNab, lobbyist for Press For Change, talks about what the new bill means.

Also on the programme: What parallels can be drawn between women in Greek mythology and women today? Plus, the show hears about the Trung Sisters - First Century women leaders who successfully repelled Chinese invasions of Vietnam.
