The Asia Pacific Transgender Network (APTN) is creating a series of 5 short electronic resources based on common questions trans people ask about transitioning
Topics
The 5 resources will look at these topics:
- I think I might be trans
- Telling others (family, friends, your current partner, school or workmates)
- Non-medical transition steps (binding, tucking, asking friends to use a different name or pronoun)
- Medical transition steps (hormones and surgeries)
- Keeping safe and strong (dealing with bullying and transphobia, feeling good about your identity and your body, resilience)
APTN needs your advice
APTN wants these resources to be as useful as possible across the region. Please tell us the main questions people in your community ask about transitioning. We will try to include the most common questions in the resources.
Please send your questions to joe.wong@weareaptn.org by Friday 3 July.
Audience
The resources are for trans people in Asia and the Pacific, and people close to them who want to know more about the transition process. These include, for example, family members, partners, friends, work colleagues and allies.
Format
The resource will be written in English and accessible online, as a series of electronic documents that can also be printed out. They will avoid technical terms and be written in simple, accessible language.
Each resource will probably be between 4 and 6 pages long. Together they will be a maximum of 25 pages. The final versions will include graphics to make them easier and more interesting to read.
Partners
Is your organisation able to help APTN to distribute the final resources in your country? Would you also consider translating them into your local language? If you want to be a project partner, please contact APTN on: joe.wong@weareaptn.org
