Michelle is joined in the studio by Leading Senior Constable Gabrielle Tyacke to talk about Gay and Lesbian Liaison Officers (GLLOs).

The state office of GLBTI (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex) Liaison has four basic functions: liaison, education, analysis and advice for police and the Victorian community.

Victoria Police GLLOs can assist by providing discrete, non-judgmental advice and assistance in the reporting of crimes. By calling a GLLO, victims can discuss the incident then work out the most suitable process for the matter to be reported. The GLLO can also provide expert advice and assistance to police investigators.

To enquire about the contact details for your local Gay and Lesbian Liaison Officer see:

Michelle and Andrea are joined by an amazing couple, Peta and Kerry, whose love for each other has endured transition.

Stepping out into the world as your true gender for the first time can be the most terrifying thing that you have ever done. Not to mention what it is like coming out to your family, friends, and co-workers.

Transition is such a selfish process, with the majority of our day to day focus on trying to fit in to society as the opposite gender all of the time worrying, how the rest of the world perceives us.

The early days of transition are probable the most difficult time that a transgender person has to deal with, as we integrate ourselves into society. When we are raised as a child, we pick up the social queues and knowledge to allow us to blend into society, filling society’s expectations by the time we become adults. From the moment that gun goes off signaling the start of our transition we have a very short period of time to re learn our social role in our true gender. Although we have most probable had a considerable length of time to consider what we are about to undertake.

Our cisgender partners, in most cases are never given the opportunity to contemplate the transition they will have to undergo when their partner has to start their transition to the opposite gender.

With Kerry’s help we start to understand that our partners go through  transitioning just as we go through transition.
