Bringing you the latest in trans community news, events and discussion. Tranzmission's mission is to amplify the trans and gender diverse voices of Magandjin/Brisbane and beyond.
This week on Tranzmission, Ez (he/him), Rae (they/them) and Brody (they/them) bring you the community news and events for the week of 13 July, including coverage of the huge turnout at the Brisbane counter‑protest to last weekend’s anti‑trans rally.
Rae and Ez also share a personal conversation about what being non‑binary means to them, exploring identity, language and community. We spotlight Lucian Mareen’s poem Far Above Gender I Saw, published on EnbyLife.
In world news, we discuss a new medical review calling for urgent research into miscarriage rates among trans men, and Amnesty International’s latest report identifying JK Rowling’s sexual assault crisis centre as part of a broader anti‑rights movement in the UK.
In national news, Mardi Gras has reaffirmed its commitment to trans and gender diverse communities following its Extraordinary General Meeting, and Gay Skate’s Storm and Jas have launched “Transgender Insurgency” tees to support Brisbane’s counter‑protest efforts.
Community events across Meanjin/Brisbane include:
Trinket Trove’s Pride and Punk Mini Market
Un‑Doctored: A Project 491 Fundraiser
Queer Tarot Picnic at Orleigh Park
INBD: I’m Not Binary Day community celebration
T.I.T. Together in Transition – a high‑energy fundraiser featuring trans and gender diverse artists raising money for Project 491
