Meet Monica Betambeau
My qualifications and motivation for presenting this talk come from the 60 years lived experience of being transgender/genderfluid or two-spirited. How the issue has fundamentally shaped my inner world and how it has impacted on my life, my major life decisions and my understanding of the world. Whilst I'll be coming from a place of my personal lived experience, the material will inform around universal transgender stories and intersect with wider LGBTQ + issues in general.
