    Irish Lives: My Transgender Journey program interviews 3 trangendered people living here in Ireland. Is anyone else watching it?

    It's been really good so far.

    It was ok, a little amateur,preschoolish but good for awareness and the trans community.

    It was positive, after the criminally prejudicial 'the centre' it showed how functional and 'every day' trans people are in real life....very well done to all in involved.

    It was a bit one sided. Like shouldn't the Iona Institute have been given 5 mins to explain the truth to us?

    I felt it was a bit surface-level but overall a pretty positive message spread out that trans folk are for better or worse people just like everyone else!

    Bit ridiculous, that part about Ireland being the last country to recognise gender.

    I just watched it online.

    I was well surprised. It showed us to be ordinary people. I cried when that American girl got recognition over the phone.
