"I’m the secretary of the ANU Circle for Gender Equity at the ANU and I contacted Tranz Australia to organise an event. Tranz Australia were able to hold a panel discussion for ANU students and members of the ANU Circle for Gender Equity for IDAHOT. They were really well-organised and put together a fantastic event with minimal effort required on my part. The discussion was focused around questions I prepared for the event, so was targeted at exactly the topic I was hoping to cover. The panel discussion was chaired by the Tranz Collective and featured three ANU students who offered personal insights into the transgender experience. The Tranz Collective was able to perfectly tailor the conversation to focus on ‘What is Gender?- Observations from a Transgender Perspective ‘. The personal stories were at times raw and eye-opening for the audience. Members of our society were very impressed by the event. They learnt a lot and were touched by the ability of the speakers to connect with the audience. Some told me it gave them a new perspective of thinking about gender and everyday interactions such as pronouns that they had never considered before. Tranz Australia provided a slideshow and were well prepared. The opportunity for questions was a great learning experience for all, with many interested to find out more. The collective is doing really great work for the community and I recommend taking up the opportunity to work with them to put together an event. The ANU Circle for Gender Equity Event was a great success thanks to the efforts, organisation and uniquely personal touch of the Tranz Collective. Thanks to the Collective, ANU students walked away with a more nuanced understanding of gendered interactions and will remember the insights gained at the event in times to come."
