As trans, nonbinary (NB) and gender nonconforming (GNC) people - we have not only a unique experience of life, but also a very stressful, confronting and ardous uphill battle in order to keep our health and make the most of our lives. Our stories may vary wildly as there is no defacto "trans experience" yet we can all stand together in acceptance, in confidence, and in authenticity. As your Trans Officer I can promise to do my utmost and very best to ensure that we can all get the relevant support and acknowledgement of our rights in all aspects of our Uni lives. Here are my immediate plans to action if you should choose to elect me:
1. Find out current level of trans identity education and training across all Solent Uni departments.
2. Where necessary, introduce further training where required including NB and GNC identities.
3. Find out what is available tailored for us in the Student Union.
4. Create a safe trans, NB and GNC only space to get to know you and hear what YOU need me to do.
After all - what kind of a representative would I be if I didn't actually represent what you, the people, want?
