More education needed on transgender issueshttp://thecorknews.ie/articles/%E2%80%98we-really-are-harmless%E2%80%99-6263A West Cork cross dresser has called for greater public awareness on transgender issues. Stuart (surname with editor), who is also identified as Stella, told the Cork News that more education is needed to improve the rights of trans people, allowing them to be more widely accepted and respected in the community. "I think transgender issues have really moved on, due to vocal people getting out there and discussing it. However, it is still essential to educate the public, for them to understand that we really are harmless," he said.
Stuart, who first began dressing in women's clothes at the age of four, outlined that people often find it difficult to "see a guy in a dress".
