Kim Horschell is arts, transgendercoach en directeur van praktijk Check-in coaching, voor transgender en mensen met gender identiteit vragen.
Ik ben vereerd dat ik in januari 2018 werd gevraagd om ambassadeur van TransAmsterdam te worden. Natuurlijk heb ik hier 'ja' op gezegd. Ik ben ambassadeur van TransAmsterdam omdat ik vind dat zij op een mooie manier werken aan #transemancipatie en #transacceptatie. Zij geven talentvolle transmannen en transvrouwen een podium met als doel de beeldvorming van transgenders te verbeteren en te empoweren. Meer maatschappelijke acceptatie bereiken doe je met zijn allen, cis- en transcommunitie gezamelijk. Ik hoop dat ik als directeur, #gendercoach en #transcoach van Check-in coaching hieraan een bescheiden bijdrage mag leveren als "brug" tussen de cis- en transcommunitie.

Dolly Bellefleur: Helblond. Langgebeend. Hooggehakt. Een stem als een nachtegaal. Met make-up als de regenboog. Gekleed als een supermodel. Haar naam: DOLLY BELLEFLEUR. Alter ego van theaterdier Ruud Douma. Begonnen op de biljarttafel van een plaatselijk café, ontpopte het eigengereide zusje van Barbie zich tot een voortvarende vrouw die met haar optredens in één klap afrekent met het aloude travestie-cabaret. Dolly Bellefleur staat voor kwaliteit. Geen play-back, maar eigen zang. Geen parodie op vrouwelijke vedettes, maar een eigen stijl. In de woorden van Bellefleur: “Ik ben een beauty with brains.”
