    Does anybody have any experience of these?

    Looking for a reasonably local support group for my trans daughter and myself (her non-lgbt father).

    We did try another group with no connection to them (which for the sake of tact I won't mention) who seemed to have the attitude that they should be as offensive and obnoxious to the non-lgbt community as they possibly can, and do things the straight community wouldn't get away with, so they can then claim discrimination or victimisation where it doesn't exist.

    Looking for somewhere better and the Rainbow Project / TransDerry seems like an option, just want to make sure it isn't another outfit like the last one we went to first.

    I know some of the people involved in Rainbow Project in Belfast and it seems fairly well run.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
