Melbourne Radical Women Meeting:
"Victoria's Equal Opportunity Law for Transgenders: A Victory that Needs
Extending"
The Equal Opportunity (Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation) Bill,
recently passed by the Victorian State Parliament, is the first to make
discrimination against transgender people unlawful in a range of areas. Its
passage has been a battle against conservative forces hell-bent on
maintaining society's sexist and homophobic definitions of gender identity.
And limitations have been imposed.
Come along to hear Sharon Saunders, from Transgender Liberation and Care,
Kayleen White, a transgender rights activist, and Alison Thorne, from
Radical Women, discuss why protection for transgenders is an urgent
necessity and what it will take to win full equality.
Thursday, 30 November
7.00 pm (dinner at 6.15 pm for a $6 donation)
Solidarity Salon, 1 Appleby Crescent, West Brunswick
For more information, phone Radical Women on (03) 9386 3230.
