Quotes

 * We hope, most fervently, that such better understanding may ultimately mean that the transvestite and the transsexual can walk freely abroad in Society, offending no-one, better understood by some, and, we hope, tolerated by all.
 * Quoted in King, Dave; Ekins, Richard (2007). "The First UK Transgender Conferences, 1974 and 1975". Gendys. 39.

Quotes about June Willmott

 * For many who attended the conference it was a weekend of "firsts" - the first meeting with others of the same type, the first opportunity to be dressed outside one's own bedroom and for a whole day, the first meal in a public restaurant, the first time one could discuss the state with others and to find out what sort of people we were. And all of this we owed to June.
 * Quoted in Rosemary King, Beaumont Bulletin (1978), in King, Dave; Ekins, Richard (2007). "The First UK Transgender Conferences, 1974 and 1975". Gendys. 39.
