The series presents 10 movers and shakers in Asia – the world's most populous continent – who are set to bring about positive change in their local lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities.
After being verbally abused and asked to leave a club for a second time in months, a transgender performance artist and two other transgender women have taken a stand and launched a campaign to end discrimination against their community.
Just a month after crashing the ILGA Asia conference in Surabaya, members of the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) forced their way past police and stormed a human rights training program intended for transgender individuals at a hotel in Depok, West Java last Friday.
Transgender women from 10 Asia-Pacific countries and areas have formed the world's first Asia Pacific Transgender Network (APTN) to champion transgender women's health, legal and social rights.
Alex Au speaks with Stefano Fabeni, the Director of Global Rights' LGBTI Initiative; Joel Simpson, Guyana's Society Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination (SASOD); and other activists at the Commonwealth People's Forum who are working to highlight LGBT-related concerns in former British colonies that have inherited Victorian-era sodomy laws from the former colonising power.
Despite its reputation as a conservative society, South Korea's trans population is winning rights through the nation's courts. Matt Kelley and Mike Lee report from Seoul.
While we now have books and court decisions on "transgender rights," maybe we need a bit of guidance on terms and issues. Here is an introduction on Trans Law 101 by Prof Douglas Sanders.
Hi...Just enjoy chatting and meeting nice guys from around the world. Always nice to make new friends..I am not looking for a relationship. I enjoy conversation, on various topics. I also love classical music, opera, jazz, old Broadway shows, and recordings of music going back to the 1890s. I love books (and I have a lot of them), and love to make and sometimes meet friends.
