The conference winds up and we are off to the night markets.
Wonderful time, wonderful people.
Hey guess what?
We are not alone. We are not freaks. We are not accidents of nature. There are many millions of trans and gender fluid people in the world. Over 20 million in Asia alone.
There are therapists, surgeons, doctors, scientists, mothers, fathers, partners, children who love us and accept us.
There are people here from villages in Nepal (we think we have it tough), everywhere, every society and every religion.
We have one thing in common, we are lovely. We are worthwhile. We laugh, we tell terrible jokes, have horrible experiences. But: we never give in or give up.
I feel so inspired to not only keep helping but to drive further and to drive harder.
This single conference has been the most rewarding experience of my life - so far.
