The one about peer support … and Sexpo

Hannah — Wed, 20 Nov 2019 04:58:23 +0000

Rowan speaks with Rachael Masters, who has found herself providing mental health peer support to fellow members of the TGD and LGBTIQ+ communities in Adelaide. Rachael would love to see more peer support organisations around Australia.

For those in Adelaide, Rachael recommends Kindred Spirits, Carousel Club and Gendasa.

Anastasia shares the exciting news that Sexpo has become more welcoming of the trans and gender diverse community, and women more generally. She had some fun there with glitter!

Don’t forget these events coming up for Trans Day of Remembrance: Trans Day of Remembrance Vigil (Melbourne, Nov 20) and Transgender Day of Remembrance Ceremony & Bridge Viewing (Brisbane, Nov 20).

Sandra Pankurst – the subject of ‘The Trauma Cleaner’ book and a transwoman – is speaking at an Australian True Crime Podcast event on Saturday 23 November.

Hares & Hyenas is hosting the Iridescent Festival for Transgender & Gender Diverse QPoC.

If you do not have family and friends living nearby or a strong local support network it can be hard to get through difficult times on your own.

The one where we dream of playing with dolls and dressing up

Hannah — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 06:40:53 +0000

Mish and Miranda chat with Mayor Steve Stefanopoulos about the City of Stonnington’s Night of Pride fundraiser for the Victorian Pride Centre.

We mourn the news of Mhelody Polan Bruno’s murder.

And we remind everyone about the importance of self care. Such as …

Playing with Mattel’s new range of gender-neutral dolls. Or dressing up as Electra Woman and Dyna Girl for Halloween! Or Thanksgiving celebrations.

We are disappointed with the latest fake news.

And delight in the success of trans women actors M J Rodriguez and Alexandra Billings.
