Sadly, David is correct: the Telegraph article was an early one when the subtleties were still unknown - I was just relieved to see one that represented the gender truth, albeit in ignorance. I'm not a great Facebook person Jo but I will try and link with your group. Changing Attitude's Trustees are being encouraged to embrace newer technology and, of course, as part of our commitment to Trans people we would want to support your campaign. There is a comprehensive and rather beautiful obituary of Sonia by Stephen Whittle who knew her and her work extremely well. http://whittlings.blogspot.com/2010/11/sonia-david-burgess-1947-2010-obituary.htmlChristina Beardsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046362838933510480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443447842611499359.post-49128469675330049562010-11-03T00:01:13.415+00:002010-11-03T00:01:13.415+00:00Finally Sonia get's the obituary she deserves!...Finally Sonia get's the obituary she deserves!

We have seen much media bile in our 18 months of existence, but the manner in which the death of this beacon of hope and success has been reported (and it got much much worse later) has shocked and sickened us deeply. <br /><br />We're on Facebook and at www.transmediawatch.org.ukJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356965133404249244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443447842611499359.post-57958768253223685752010-11-02T18:43:57.561+00:002010-11-02T18:43:57.561+00:00If you look again Colin, the man who wrote the art...If you look again Colin, the man who wrote the article that referred to her as a woman, directly after the mishap when little information had been available, is the same author who wrote the later articles that referred to her as a man in a dress and a transvestite.<br /><br />May Sonia rest in peace and rise in glory.Brother Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333089314994730330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443447842611499359.post-48052970229244712852010-11-02T18:32:17.984+00:002010-11-02T18:32:17.984+00:00Beautifully written Christina.
