Transgender and CALD: DIversity within Diversity

The Australian GLBTIQ Multicultural Council and Hares & Hyenas present Under the Skin #4, a panel series exploring queer life from culturally and linguistically diverse perspectives.

Diversity within diversity: trans and CALD.

What experiences can occur when someone is transgender and also from a cultural and/or linguistically diverse background? How is it like to navigate between the two?

This panel will explore whether identifying as transgender can impact on a person’s cultural identity, and vice-versa: whether a person’s cultural background impacts on aspects of sexual and transgender identity.

What experiences – both positive and negative – can be gained when there is “diversity within diversity”?

Chaired by Sally Goldner, our AGMC panel includes Kylie Supski (Artist/Performer), Kai Clancy (Educator, Victorian Aids Council), Erik Ly (YGender) and Marco Fink (Minus 18).

There will also be a guest writer, AE Dooland, who will read a chapter from her book “Under My Skin” (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OKZVCVC)
