The Stand Bi Us forum is happening this weekend, where Bi+ organisations from across the continent come together to celebrate Bi+ Visibility Day, with a range of free, mostly online events. 

One of these events is being presented by the Transfemme project team, who are inviting us to be a part of their campaign to promote healthier relationships between men and trans women. 

To tell Mamma Mish & Dean more about the project, Aisya Zaharin pops into JOY Breakfast, a Muslim trans woman of colour and a PhD researcher who was awarded as the 2021 Trans Activist/Advocate of the Year by the Queensland Council for LGBTI Health.

Men VS Men?

The concept of gender diversity is centuries old and something we are always willing to talk about and support here on JOY. 

JOY Breakfasts resident clinical psychotherapist Ando, popped by to talk with Mamma Mish & Dean about some recent findings into how feminine presenting gay men are discriminated against by not just straight identifying males, but also those who are attracted to men.  

This research study finds both gay men and heterosexual men prefer masculine over feminine gay men for a high-status role, suggesting feminine gay men may face implicit discrimination in the workplace. 

What’s the problem people!

Michelle is filling in for Rach while she is away.
