WHO WE ARE

Unique is a Constituted Organisation with an Elected Committee.

 

Debbie Roberts (Chair)

I always knew I was different from the other boys.  I envied the girls and their fabulous clothes, and I have dressed since my early teens.  I love being one of the girls and expressing outwardly the emotions and feelings that lurk inside, it just feels so right!  I am only able to be myself within the T-girl community at the moment but I am extremely proud to be the Chair of Unique, and although I think a lot has been achieved in a short period of time there is still a lot of work to do before we can put our hands on our hips, girls, and say that this group is indeed Unique.

 

Elen Heart (Secretary)

Unlike many Trans-people, I did not realise that I was Transgendered until recently, though I have known for a long time that I was not 'normal'.  My first mentors were two Transsexual women, and I soon realised that I was more than a Cross-dresser. 
I am not sure if I am truly Transsexual, though I live much of my life as Elen.  For the present I simply enjoy my new life as a Trans-girl.  My aim for UNIQUE is to emphasise the positive aspects of being transgendered.

 

Ellena Britton

I have always known I was different from my peers, and have felt the desire to dress and behave as a woman from my very early formative years. It is only in the last fifteen years that I have been able to  blossom fully and develop my feminine identity. I am very happily married and my wife is most supportive of my Trans-Woman lifestyle. I see myself as a transgendered person who wishes to present as a female as often as family commitments allow. It has been a big learning curve for me to participate in constructing this Web Site and I am proud of the results that we have been able to achieve.

Jenny-Anne Bishop

I’ve been transgendered as long as I can remember.  In 1980 I was diagnosed TS, but as I was married with young children I decided to stay TV until they grew up.  I now live with my partner Elen as Jenny-Anne, and feel that at last it's the real me.  Having retired in 2008 I spend my time trying to help the trans community and doing diversity training.  Elen and I try hard to represent the acceptable face of trans people to the wider community.  I'm very glad to be a member of Unique and do my best to help and be useful to the group.

Angelina

I started dressing very early on in life and remained in the closet for many years. A couple of years ago, after joining the Beaumont Society, I found my local UNIQUE group then meeting at Connah's Quay. I attend a variety of monthly functions, some local others as far as Manchester, plus shopping trips as Angelina I have named myself  after a song by a famous singer. I am single and like to think, fashion conscious, which is a challenge as my sources are often Charity shops or car boot sales. Other interests include oil painting, cooking and creative use of my sewing machine.
