World Outgames 2009 konferencekatalog
World Outgames 2009 har udgivet et konferencekatalog, der fortæller om LGBT-konferencen, som afholdes den 27. til den 29. juli 2009 i forbindelse med sportsstævnet.

Det må set fra et transsynspunkt desværre konstateres, at konferencen ikke har indeholder ret meget transrelateret.
Af hovedtalerne skal nævnes, at Georgina Beyer fra New Zeeland er blandt hovedtalerne.
