There is a new Support Group run by S.W.O.P. It's on every Tuesday at S.W.O.P. and it's the Sex Workers Ending Rape and Violence group from 5:00pm - 7:00pm. They have food at the meeting and it sounds like a positive group to check out. Ring Maddy at S.W.O.P. on (02) 9319 4866.

Guys, we now have a new and improved prosthesis at the Centre, which is much softer and easier to wear than the last one. Call me if you're interested, to make an appointment to check it out.

There's also a new book out on the market called "Guide for the Female to Male Transsexual". It's a U.K. book put out by the F.T.M. Network in London. The book contains a great deal of practical advice, ­and it's a wealth of information for any guy out there. Call for details.
