Transgender Day of Remembrance
At Undeb Aberystwyth we condemn all acts of violence and hate crime. We acknowledge the inordinate impact on Trans lives. During this day we remember the lives of those we have lost and stand in solidarity with our Trans students.
Quote from your 2022-2023 Wellbeing Officer Cameron
It is becoming increasingly scary and tough to be transgender. Waiting lists are years long; private care costs hundreds, even thousands; governments and people on social media are deciding what we can and can’t do with our bodies, even debating our existence; and transphobic violence is high. Over the past year, 375 trans and gender diverse deaths have been reported globally and many more have gone unreported. Deliberate misgendering, and verbal and physical abuse impact trans people’s wellbeing and quality of life enormously. Transgender individuals just want to be happy and comfortable, like everybody else. To the trans students of Aberystwyth, I am proud of you and I see you.
