Back To the Main SiteTransAction! Vs TransAwareness!
TransAction! is held on February 27, and Trans Day of Action is held on June 27 this year. I think that those names are far too similar – Its confusing! TransAction Day has never been held before, but Trans Day of Action has been running in New York for 4 years, so I think if either is going to have their name changed, it will have to be TransAction Day.
I’m not asking for GLSEN to change the name of their event, but I think that Australian organisations could hold an event with a name that sounds a little less like a day when you do your banking. I think that “Trans Awareness Day” is an excellent title, and one that as far as I can tell isn’t taken. (Gendered Intelligence in the UK ran a single Trans Awareness Day back in 2007, but it hasn’t been held since). However, it is very trans-centric. Perhaps “Gender Diversity Day” would be a more inclusive and appropriate name?
A preliminary survey of my friends revealed a strong leaning towards Gender Diversity Day. What do other folk think? Suggestions for other names are also welcome!
