On this episode of Women on the Line we cover Trans Awareness Week, which was held from the 13 - 20 November. We head to Narrm’s first Trans Pride March, to hear from speakers Anastacia Le Rose and Mama Merrin and her son Jay. We then head to Trans Day of Remembrance to hear from Key Change Trans and Gender Diverse Choir as well as Witt Gorrie. The speakers touch on topics affecting the transgender community such as high rates of incarceration of Aboriginal trans women and trans women of colour, transphobia, safer school spaces, mental health and community-building.
