Join A Gender Agenda and Friends for a night of insightful discussion and reflection on Trans Joy and what Trans Awareness Week means for us!
Why Trans Joy? Trans Joy is resistance and strength. It is finding community, forging our found family, uncovering queer love and hope. Trans Joy is mutual aid, and justice, and some damn good potlucks. We want to focus on all the things they said we couldn’t have, share stories where we built our own joy in a world where everything can feel against us.
Our panelists are activists, advocates, and leaders in our community, with so much valuable knowledge to share. Join our panelists and our MC extraordinaire, Alistair Ott, for a night of sharing stories of resilience, joy, and identity.
Doors open at 5:00pm, join us for nibbles and networking before the panel at 6:00pm. There will be time for questions at the end!

Alistair (They/He) is a Wiradjuri queer trans fulla living and working on Ngunnawal Country. Alistair works at A Gender Agenda supporting trans, gender diverse, and intersex communities, and at the Australian National University as an Indigenous Academic Associate and PhD Student.
