A super article in today's Observer Review.
This is from today's Observer and features the life of Sonia Burgess who was pushed to her death under a London underground train. It's a very sympathetic article and well worth reading about someone whose life was given to helping others including transgender clients - she helped Mark Rees and Stephen Whittle when appearing at the European Court of Human Rights at Strasbourg, and is therefore someone to whom all those of us in the UK who've now achieved legal status in our preferred role, should be grateful for the work she did.

What a wonderful person and what a tragic end. She certainly gave the lie to those who belittle lawyers.
The journalist who wrote the article deserves applause too.I don't think I have ever seen a fairer assessment in the press of one woman's transsexualism and the tensions and strains that the condition imposes on an individual,
