To kick off Trans Awareness Week, we are hosting "What's the T?", an evening of short talks on themes of Trans Awareness:

Jupiter will give a talk on "Trans Awareness Week - Why it's Important"

(CWs: transphobia, queerphobia, current politics)

Sam will give a talk on "Experiences of Trans Students and Staff in HE"

(CWs: discussion and examples of cisnormativity and transphobia (including institutional forms), misgendering, deadnaming, and harassment, as well as the impact of estrangement and poor mental health. There will be a brief mention of sexual violence, self-harm and suicide (in the context of prevalence for the trans community), though there will be no extended discussion or examples.)

Tal will give a talk on "Trans Representation in the Media"

(CWs: discussion of transphobia, mentions of SA (no details) and discussion of microaggressions)

Ella will give a talk on "The Importance of Trans Joy and its Nuances"

(CWs: transphobia/transphobic rhetoric)

Everyone is welcome, and we encourage trans allies in particular to come along to learn more!
