Hi, I'm Julia Gordon and for several years in the 90s I was involved in working for wider acceptance of the transgender community and their recognition in equality legislation in Scotland. Instrumental during this period was the Tartan Skirt magazine, with which I was heavily involved as its editor and production manager. Those issues of the Tartan Skirt hold a record of transgender social history in Scotland and the UK as a whole at a time of enormous change - change that is regrettably being rolled back as I write this. When I retired (I'm now in my eighties) I deposited all my copies of the magazine with the Highland Archive Centre here in Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. With their co-operation, and at a relatively small cost, it will be possible to digitise those magazines and make them available through the Digital Transgender Archive. It is my deepest wish that the transgender community keeps going forward, reminded of the strength they perhaps first discovered for themselves within the pages of the Tartan Skirt magazines.
