Trans report set for release

Trans report set for release

A new report into transgender health and wellbeing will be launched in Katoomba, New South Wales next month.

The survey of more than 400 members of transgender social group TransGender Radio (TgR) is set to reveal a snapshot of the aspirations, problems, and health and lifestyle of gender diverse people.

The survey looks at how participants express their gender, how they became aware they were gender diverse, if they’ve had surgery, their relationship with health professionals and any negative exeriences they’ve had.

The group will mark the launch of the report at the annual TransFormal event on Saturday, May 19 at The Carrington Hotel, 10.30am.

TransFormal will be held over the same weekend and will involve a range of social events. The event attracts guests from all over Australia and New Zealand.

TgR was established 1997 and is said to be the largest active transgender group in the southern hemisphere.

  1. Hello Simon,

    Many if not all Transsexual people find the word “Tranny” offensive and demeaning. It has a similare status as Fag or Poof……

    Thank you Robyn

  2. Considering that most transsexual people I know are not members of TransGender Radio (TgR) simply because of the “tranny” label they have, I highly doubt that any survey they have conducted will reflect the true nature of Health & Well being issues relating to Gender Identity Disorder in Australia. None of my transsexual friends heard anything about such a survey. So I strongly suspect this survey is more about crossdressers than anyone else.

  3. Fantastic. It is about time that Tranny issues got up there. Hopefully our party, the ALP-Greens will highlight Tranny issues in parliament
