Video: The state of transphobia in Britain

In December, rs21 organised a meeting ‘Transphobia in Britain: Building the Fightback’. The four speeches given at the meeting are now available on our YouTube channel. 

The first speaker, Evren, is a community care activist. His talk gives a lowdown on transphobia in Britain over the last decade, approaches taken by trans activists and allies, and ideas for how this needs to change. This recording is audio-only but includes closed captions.

The second speaker, Julian, describes their experience trying to access healthcare as a trans teenager. They found the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) obstructive and useless, and were forced to go to a private provider, leaving them unable to afford care they should be receiving on the NHS.
