In the World Health Organisation’s new International Classification of Diseases ‘ICD11’, transgender is no longer considered a mental disorder, but is classified under sexual health conditions.
On tonight’s show we explore what this change in classifications means for Australia’s trans community, as well as why and how these changes came about.
Plus, we head behind the scenes of the Mr Australasia Bear competition on the weekend and find out what it means to be a bear, no matter your shape or size.
This episode of The Informer on JOY 94.9 was hosted by Tom Morgan.
