Trans Day of Visibility with Aisya Zaharin

Women on the Line

On today’s show we are marking Trans Day of Visibility (31st of March). We will be hearing snippets of a rich conversation between 3CR’s Sally Goldner and Aisya Zaharin. Aisya is a trans advocate from Meanjin Brisbane and is currently in Narrm as a special guest for the Women’s Iftar hosted by Queer Muslim Narrm and Trans Sisters United. She has also been a strong advocate for trans youth in Queensland in the face of government attacks on trans health care. Our guests chat about the recent Women’s Iftar held by Queer Muslim Narrm and Trans Sisters United; the rise of right-wing dogma and its impact on faith and religion; and the QLD anti-trans bill, which has suspended minors from accessing Hormone Replacement Therapy and puberty blockers. This interview was aired on Sunday 23 March on 3CR’s Out of the Pan with Sally Goldner. AusPath has initiated a fundraiser ‘Project 491’ in response to this harmful suspension from the QLD government.
