Were you aware of Transgender Awareness Week?

With so much focus on the Anniversary of the YES vote it’s been easy to forget about Trans Awareness Week – easy, but not okay. In this YESiversary ep of MAD Wednesday, Dean is joined by Michelle Shepard as they reflect on what last years unnecessary voluntary postal survey was like for the trans and gender diverse communities. They remind listeners of JOY that this anniversary has taken up a huge chunk of the weeks media attention, focus and community oxygen and has also taken lace during Transgender Awareness Week.

Talking place from November 12 – 19, individuals and organizations around the country participate in Transgender Awareness Week to help raise the visibility of transgender and gender non-conforming people, and address the issues the community faces. On Tuesday the 20th of November its Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day to memorialise those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia and to draw attention to the continued violence endured by the transgender community.
