The ‘us’ and ‘them’ situation… it’s been a humanitarian failing since the oldest time”: When one’s very sense of self is a political matter

Lizette invited Victoria to share a piece of art that captured something of Victoria’s experiences of living as a transgender woman in British society. While considering this image, Victoria and Lizette shared two long conversations, the second of which was recorded in order to construct this article. Due to word count only short extracts of the second conversation are shared here. However, you are welcome to contact
us for more information and we provide some further resources below. The order of extracts has been slightly altered in places to improve the flow of this account.
