We are in the middle of Transgender Awareness Week.
It is an important time in the LGBTIQ+ calendar because it raises the visibility of "trans" people around the world.
So today we are having a couple of back-to-back chats, via Zoom, and the first one is with Ki Hayward.
The week is about bringing attention to issues of
· prejudice,
· discrimination and
· violence that affect trans and gender diverse people
· sharing their stories and
· taking action to educate everyone about who transgender people are.
The week culminates with Trans Day of Remembrance on 20 November.
