Tracy Dean’s Summary
Tracy Dean is one of the small team from Press for Change that was involved in meetings with the Department for Constitutional Affairs during the drafting of the Gender Recognition Act 2004 and up until the Act came into force.
She graduated from the University of Brighton as a Software Engineer in 2003 and sells her own video editing effects software from her website, as well as running the Press for Change site.
As a genealogist, Tracy is considered to be expert on the civil registration system and has been particularly involved in respect of the design of the layout of birth certificates for those that have obtained a gender recognition certificate (GRC). As part of this process she undertook, on behalf of the Registrar General’s Office, a survey of what the community wanted.
She has been a Vice President of Press for Change since 2002 but her involvement with the trans community stretches back to the mid-80s. Until 2001, she was chair of The Gender Trust (GT) for 6 years and a trustee for 9 years.
It is perhaps because of Tracy’s long experience in a support organisation (GT), and her consequent knowledge of the difficulties faced by trans people undergoing transition and medical treatment, that she is currently representing Press For Change and it’s members on the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ Intercollegic Working Group on Standards of Care in the Treatment of Transsexual Adults.
Tracy Dean’s Specialties:
