About tmgp	English (USA)
Trans Melbourne Gender Project is a network based in Victoria. It's a coalition of people who want to be able to freely embody the gender we feel are. We might be men, women, transgendered, transsexual, intersex, genderqueer, MTF, FTM, queer, or none of the above. We come together not because of what we are, but what we want. What we want is open to definition, but some of the things might include: * to creatively resist violence against people who don't fit the law that everyone should live the gender assigned to them at birth * to create stronger coalitions between the different people who make up the 'trans' and 'intersex' populations * to respect our differences of background, need, opinion * to be visible in all our diversity * to make spaces where the meaning of gender, politics, identity, desire are not pre-defined * to encourage like-minded people to get involved and add their energy and ideas We're interested in setting up some or all of the following: *information and resources for people who need trans-friendly medical help, counselling, support services and welfare * a drop-in centre for resources, a listening ear and support groups * social events *political campaigns or actions around issues relevant to gender freedom, for instance changes to birth certificate legislation in Victoria or any gender-related injustice * education campaigns to teach doctors, bureaucrats, employers, teachers, trade unions, politicians, university administrations, dole officers, the next-door neighbours and other people in positions of power how to respect and support the needs of differently gendered folk * a website and publication * film screenings * services targeted to helping particularly vulnerable gender variant folk, especially young people and people without financial security.
