QLD Transgender Sistergirl & Gender Diverse conference
There is the above conference in Cairns on the 24-25th August. The details can be found by typing the conference name into your favourite search engine. The program sounds very interesting to me & I plan to go.
Is there anyone planning to go to this conference who would like a travelling companion? I intend to fly from Sydney on the 23rd & return on the 26th. I know it is still 3 months away but I was planning to book the flights soon to get the cheapest seats possible.
You could email me or post a reply here.

I’m seriously thinking of going… mindful that with the recent budget cuts in QLD this might be the last time this is so affordable.
But if I do go it will also be because Megan is looking for some sunshine
So I won’t be traveling alone.Looking at the program I think any decision of mine will have to wait till the abstract sessions are announced. Quite honestly leaving breakfast for a session on surgical techniques by some guy from Thailand isn’t the way I normally like to start my day
If it looks like the conference has a focus on gender diversity and not on medical/surgical/sex options then I will be attracted. hard to tell at the moment. -
I know you were only joking Amanda, but the other surgeon is Dr Ceber – who does most if not all of Australia’s SRS surgery.
Other conference topics include, mental health, ageing & trans people, HRT, young trans, exploring sex, where do we want to be etc & workshops on transmen, sistergirls, counselling etc.
That is only a sample of the varied topics on offer.
Also Amanda thanks for putting this in the correct place & cleaning it up.

Yes i was being flippant…I’m sure the subject area is riveting for some.
But I guess you can understand why for me, where i sit on the gender spectrum, a few hours of practical gynecology after toast and tea isn’t how I usually choose start the day. -
Gina McKeon (who many of you may have met filming at TransFormal 2012) has produced a radio interview about the Transgender Sistergirl & Gender Diverse conference this weekend.
Listen to the interview here:
