  I was reading my local paper this morning and nearly fell off my chair when I recognised the hero in the photo published with this article.  Alex Haney was one of the participants in Sherbourne Health Centre's fall Gender Journeys program which I also attended.  This past Wednesday was the last session.  My mother had asked me if there had been any particular people in the group who were my favourites and why.  I had specifically mentioned Alex because I found him to be a polite, genuine and humble character among other things.  He was caring and observant enough to approach me when I was too shy to introduce myself first during a 'pick-a-partner' exercise and made me feel welcome and so much better about being a part of the group.  He transgender status and good character are mentioned in the article and I can assure you that he is exactly as described.  I feel truly honoured to have made his acquaintance.

  Added a video news link from an ABC TV station in Phoenix, Arizona.  It plays in three parts and you can watch Alex interviewed in one of them.

Thanks for posting this. Hugs, Devlyn

Thank-you, Devlyn.

  If anyone would like to learn more about Alex I would highly recommend checking out his YouTube account, "alexhaney100" via the following link:

  Thanks, too, for that post!  That action from one of us prevented another Columbine!
