CW: discussions of transphobia, queerphobia
In this episode of Safe Space, GUM’s Editor-in-Chief, Graham sits down with Valentine and Aster, the trans officer and non-binary officer, respectively, of GULGBTQ+. In this conversation, Valentine and Aster discuss the normalisation of transphobia in modern media, and the failure of the government and the Gender Recognition Act to protect trans and non-binary people. Released on Transgender Day of Remembrance, this episode also discusses the importance of trans folk having their own spaces at university to connect with other trans students, and the role others within the LGBTQ+ community must play in ending the culture of transphobia which remains deeply entrenched in the UK.
