@TGEUorg @_oatc_ @ILGAEurope @hrw @GATEOrg I am based in the UK where trans kids rights are regularly ignored and trans kids harmed as a result. Rights focused orgs in the UK (esp England) do not stick up for trans kids. TGEU could help highlight the rights violations trans kids suffer.
@TGEUorg @_oatc_ @ILGAEurope @hrw @GATEOrg I am also in a network of parents advocating for trans kids rights from across the world, with members across Europe. Trans kids rights are violated in countries across Europe (every country). We need TGEU speaking up for trans kids. Please get in touch.
@TGEUorg @_oatc_ @ILGAEurope @hrw @GATEOrg There is a long list of things that my daughter needs for a life of dignity, equality and wellbeing. Things that she is currently denied in a transphobic UK. One way TGEU can help is by including trans kids specifically in reports on rights violations and discrimination
@TGEUorg @_oatc_ @ILGAEurope @hrw @GATEOrg Firstly we need trans kids explicitly included in any analysis of the state of trans rights in Europe. Omitting them is part of the erasure of trans kids that makes their lives harder and makes it easier for their rights to be denied with no consequence
@TGEUorg @_oatc_ @ILGAEurope @hrw @GATEOrg Once they are explicitly included you can capture the dire state of rights for trans kids in countries across Europe. These 'gaps' in their equality can then be flagged to rights focused organisations and policy makers.
@TGEUorg @_oatc_ @ILGAEurope @hrw @GATEOrg If you reach out to parent advocates (who just want our kids to have equal rights with cis kids) you will learn of the challenges, lack of rights and discrimination facing trans kids across Europe.
@TGEUorg @_oatc_ @ILGAEurope @hrw @GATEOrg Trans kids legal rights, and the rights they are denied, are very often different to the situation of trans adults. If your report only focuses on trans adults, you miss a significant part of the state of trans equality. Thanks for asking :)
