Wolverhampton Sanctuary

Ruth

I am a helper at Sanctuary Wolverhampton along with Paula Coley Sanctuary is an outreach support group run by Gender Matters.

"Together with Jenny I was a co-founder of the Wolverhampton

Sanctuary, and have attended most meetings of the group from its beginning.

I have been dressing as Ruth for a very long time but due to personal circumstances I cannot be full time. I have always been happier when presenting myself as female."
