This week, Gillian and Jenny discuss the challenges faced by the trans community, the need for a strategic approach to lobbying for change, and the importance of maintaining a positive image of trans individuals in media. They also debated the issue of self-identification and the rights of trans individuals, the potential for trans individuals to gain more influence through corporate power, and the need for trans individuals to be more involved in politics. The conversation ended with a discussion on the importance of strategic planning and lobbying in politics, the failings of unfettered capitalism, and the need for better language and narratives around transgender rights.

Subjects include:

• Trans Community Challenges and Unity
• Rethinking Strategies for Community Change
• Self-Identification, self certification and Trans Rights
• Addressing Trans Community Challenges as currently approaches seem not to be working
• Trans Rights and Political Action
• Strategic Planning and Lobbying in Politics
• Capitalism, Socialism, and Transgender Rights

As always, they ‘disagree agreeably’ and thrash through different perspectives based on their own experience.
