I read that as 'Transgendered tabbie' and had a moment of wonder thinking about how on earth you'd work out a cat is tg. XD

That aside, it's nice to see some positive stories in the press.

y'know something.. this "was born xxxx" and giving a previous name is an illegal disclosure and attracts a £5000 fine.

It isn't her name.. and what she may or may not have been known as previously is none of anybodys business... So typical of the vile press to always have to do things like this.. I had an article about me pulled.. because they tried to use my old name "was born as" .. it's not my name and hasn't been for over 10 years.. NO organisation is allowed to disclose that knid of information. they dropped the article completely rather than face the courts for illegal disclosure.

it's buried in this http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:WU9QnDTh9vIJ:www.pfc.org.uk/files/278143B_Working_trans_HP.pdf+illegal+disclosure+transgender+uk&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk
