Australian Feminisation Congress for trans women

After days under the effects of jetlag and with the accumulated exhaustion resulting from an intense week of travel and work for the II Australian Feminisation Congress, we now wait to embark on our journey back home to Spain.

Its difficult to explain in words the emotion, appreciation, affection, friendship and love with which we leave from the exceptional country named Australia.

Rarely in our personal and professional careers have we felt so well received and welcomed, with an overwhelming abundance of smiles, thanks and support in tired moments when lack of rest would take its toll. Thank you, our friends in Oz, for making us feel as if at home among family.
