Beaumont Society ApologyWith regard to articles written in the press recently quoting the Beaumont Society as the source.The Beaumont Society has no knowledge of the identity of the individual who is the subject of the articles, and the Society is not the source of any personal details about the subject of the article. Within the last two years, an Officer of the Society, whilst on a local helpline, has responded to an anonymous call from a female to male transsexual, apparently making enquiries about the possibilities of bearing a child, even though the caller claimed to have undergone female to male treatment. Callers details are neither asked for or recorded by those operating the Helpline, except if they are requesting written information. In this case, the Caller was referred to GIRES. The Officer has since been contacted by the Press, but only confirmed that she had had an anonymous enquiry and then a follow up call, some time later, again anonymously, saying that she had been most helpful and that the person concerned had successfully borne a child. The Executive Committee of the Beaumont Society apologises for any distress that may have been caused to members of the Transgender Community, by the confusion that this story has created in the media. The Trustee's in light of this incident are reviewing our information line policy and the training of volunteers to ensure the integrity of our service and protection of the community we serve The Society remains committed to the help and advancement of the interests of all Transgendered individuals where ever they stand on the Transgender spectrum |
