#25 Moving from harmful to helpful regulation for trans and gender diverse folk - with Lee Carnie
I am recording this from the sovereign lands of the Wurundjeri people. First Nations people have been custodians of this land for tens of thousands of years. Colonisation is a process that law and regulation, have been deeply complicit in, taking land, sea, children and lives. I want to acknowledge that despite ongoing colonisation, 60 000 years of wisdom continues, and so too does non-Aboriginal Australia’s obligations to take a daily personal responsibility to support reconciliation through truth and justice.
Today is international trans day of visibility. It is an annual celebration of trans pride and awareness, recognising trans and gender diverse experiences and achievements. It is also an opportunity to examine how regulation has shaped the lives of trans and gender diverse folk, often for worse, but hopefully for the better as we move forward. What better way to do that than with Lee Carnie who is a queer non-binary advocate I’ve been fortunate to work with.
Lee Carnie is a human rights lawyer, advocate and campaigner who has worked on progressive law reform campaigns for LGBTIQA+ rights for a number of years. Their currently the ED of advocacy and campaigns at Foundation for Young Australians and were previously the founding legal director at Equality Australia, Australia’s first national LGBTIQ+ legal advocacy and campaigning organisation.
This conversation covers some difficult terrain, particularly for members from the LGBTIQA+ community, so please be sure to reach out to your networks if difficult and big feelings come up for you. I hope you learn a lot from this episode as I did.
