If I may just pop my head up in this thread just to make a slight correction?

Much is being said about people's sexual orientations and it may be worth pointing out that transsexuality is not a sexuailty issue but a gender one. People of all genders have a sexuality but having a gender is being mixed up here a bit with sexuality. Historically it seems that 'transgender' has been linked in with homosexuality because many gay people have accepted it far earlier than mainstream society. But even the word transgender is a cover all word used to cover a wide range of persons and differing subjects.

As regards the concert. Great idea! Just as would a concert that was arranged for disabled folkies and people from BME backgrounds. Celebrate the diversity. Embrace it. Then enbrace each other! We are all the same inside (with the exception of a few bit and pieces)
