An LGBT rights group in China called Queer Comrades is launching a campaign to raise awareness of transgender people and trans issues.
As part of the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia next week, the group will hold a special event that will educate the public about transgender communities. The event will include a showing of Brothers, the first documentary about trans men in China, and organizers are already reaching out to media for coverage.
‘Chinese society is currently still largely unaware of the plight of transgender people in China, who face stigma and discrimination on a daily basis,’ said a statement from event organizers Queer Comrades.
‘With the event, we focus on bringing attention to transgender communities in China and increasing public understanding of transgender issues.’
Awesome!
