My name is Mia Nikasimo. As a volunteer for Changing Attitudes at the Lambeth Conference I found myself in an opportune position to reflect from a translesbian (i.e. a transsexual woman who identifies as a lesbian not to be confused with above or beyond "lesbians," or a transgender man) standpoint on the Anglican Communion and attempts to exclude the LGBTI.
