They are likely to have a sensationalist headline and a salacious tone, and the writing is often ill-informed and vilifying. Favoured topics include women in sports, bathrooms, where prisoners are housed, and health care for trans and gender-diverse children and young people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat tends not to be reported is the abuse, assaults and online hate that have become a daily experience for trans women, and the bullying that trans kids experience at school. Some of this is due to the ripple effects of the animosity spewed out by the so-called 'leader of the free world'. From the early days of his campaign for a second term as US president, Donald Trump has had the trans community in his sights, and he now appears intent on denying their very existence. But a broader dynamic seems to be a deep-seated intolerance, if not loathing, of trans people in our society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy are trans people so hated? Why have they become contemporary 'villains' and the target of so much prejudice and bigotry? And most importantly, how do we change this? Is it possible to move from blaming, shaming and excluding trans people to respecting, protecting and including them? These questions are at the heart of \u003ci\u003eSex, Gender \u0026amp; Identity: Trans Rights inAustralia\u003c\/i\u003e, alongside the goal of increasing community-wide understanding of this much maligned minority.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46867071238302,"sku":"ADS-9781923192690","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781923192690.jpg?v=1779429292","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781923192690","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
