Yesterday, Seed asking the community mostly Trans person to perform during the event, much thanks to them for sincerely fighting for the community from homeless, people living with HIV and also including Transgender people. This year me and 2 other Trans*person who has been musicians longer manage to join the already familiar performers from the community. It was a really cool experience. And i broke my thick introverted wall and be free....and rock the safe space ^_^
I don't want to claim this but if it helps to encourage other Trans* musician, we're the first all-transgender-line up-band so far...and it was awesome to perform among other established Trans*performers in the community
The TingTongTranz / TingTongKetiaw / TingtongKetz
(so far we have 5 short anthemic punkrock? songs)
The last time we've met were at ilgaAsia Taipei just recently and you're already an inspiration to most of transwomen who know you personally the work you have done. you've selflessly helped your sister with her transitioning was an inspiration for us, for me personally, thank you
In a climate of criminalisation, where law enforcement agencies themselves perpetrate violence with impunity, it is not surprising that violence against transgender people is underreported and inadequately investigated. In this region and globally, transgender organisations have attempted to monitor the most extreme forms of violence: when transgender people have been killed because of their gender identity.
The Asia Pacific Transgender Network has released a Transgender Day of Remembrance Media Toolkit and Terminology Resource to guide the media to a fair and inclusive coverage and reporting on transgender people. Download via link below and circulate widely.
I would like to add here, that when i drew this comic strip and until now that in this society, people still stereotype for young women still playing dolls, with internet and vast information actually there are a lot more girls who's playing robots and equally doesn't enjoy playing with dolls. And when i say young women its cisgender girls not Trans.
