Transitioning in the Defense Force, Inclusivity in the Australian Defense Force & Bruce Richman – the Founder of U = U : 13th March 2018

On this episode of The Informer we hear from Joel Wilson, a trans man who spoke out last month in a Fairfax news article about his experience transitioning as a part of the Australian Defence Force back in 2013.

Joel shares his experience in and out of the Force and shares how he has used that experience to be a positive force for change and support for the transmen of Canberra.

We also hear from a spokesperson at the Australian Defence Force in reference to inclusivity for not only the trans community but all LGBTIQA+ individuals serving, or looking to serve.

Plus, after a whirlwind speaking tour around Australia, we speak to Bruce Ritchman, the founder of the global undetectable untrasmittable campaign about why we need a campaign like this not only in Australia, but around the world, and discover how it is changing all our attitudes towards people living with HIV.

This episode of The Informer on JOY 94.9 was hosted by Ruby Susan.
