Hi this is second part of transgender/trans-people video.
Transcript start
Hi, part two of topic on transgender/trans-people. Trans-people face lots of barriers + discrimination in their lives. They get denied access to medical healthcare, their support in mental health, sometimes, they get discriminated by
other people, people don't want to service them. In past years, Australia had researched and found that about 0.9% of Aussies are transgender. In that group, Aussies over 16 years and onwards, about 0.3% identify as trans-male/trans-man; about 0.3% identify as trans-female/trans-lady; about 0.3% identify as non-binary people - meaning they don't fit into either gender labels of male or female. We have slowly seen an increase in that number due to safe space and communities and families and friends supporting the trans-people. But today in the world of
politics, especially UK and USA, Trans-people are currently fighting against lot of
barriers and discrimination. We hope that with more understanding and support, that trans-people will feel more safe and continue fight for their rights.
Bye.
