If you're a trans, gender diverse or non-binary person anxious about being misgendered when you go in to get your COVID19 vaccination, OR, if you're a clinician or vaccine provider who wants to provide an inclusive service, Transgender Victoria and a range of partner organisations have created a helpful resource.⠀
⠀
There's a factsheet for providers, and a letter template for community members to fill out - ⠀LINKS IN BIO
The factsheet: https://joy.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/FOR-PUBLICATION-1.0-Rainbow-Vaccination-Addressing-gender-and-misgendering-to-reduce-vaccine-hesitancy.pdf?x45056⠀
The letter: https://joy.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/FOR-PUBLICATION-1.0-Rainbow-Vaccination-Letter-Template.pdf?x45056⠀
⠀
Together we’ll be addressing and solving one of the barriers that drives vaccine hesitancy for the LGBTIQA+ community, and reducing anxiety in attending vaccination sites. Remember, by acknowledging and respecting people’s identity and diversity, we’re all helping increase access to COVID19 vaccines, and helping get the population vaccinated - let's get the #FabJab.

Thank you Sally Goldner for your dedication over m

Transgender Victoria wish to acknowledge and celebrate the many contributions Sally Goldner AM has made to our communities over the years as a leader, pioneer and icon who finished her employment with Transgender Victoria last week.⠀
⠀
We honour her advocacy, activism, education work and finance skills as part of her numerous personal qualities, and her iconic status as someone who has devoted her life to bettering the world for trans, gender diverse and non-binary people, as well as bi+ communities. ⠀
⠀
She was a co-founder of Transgender Victoria in 1999 and has been a member since that time, and worked in many capacities including as a volunteer, staff member and Committee member throughout that time. ⠀
⠀
We particularly celebrate her work towards law reforms including 2013 amendments to the federal Sex Discrimination Act, and the 2019 Victorian birth certificate reform, and her service on the Victorian Government LGBTI Justice Working Group between 2006-2010 and 2015-2017. ⠀
⠀
We also applaud Sally’s work across our communities, including with Transfamily, Bisexual Alliance, Seahorse Victoria and countless other organisations and advisory groups, as well as her fabulous presence in the media including as presenter of the ongoing “Out of the Pan” program on 3CR, BENT TV and as a joint founder of the ground-breaking “Trans-mission Time” on JOY94.9 in 1999. ⠀
⠀
Sally’s dedication and influence on creating positive change and service to LGBTIQA+ communities has been recognised with the Order of Australia (2019), induction to the Victorian Women’s Honour Roll (2016), and the GLOBE LGBTI Victorian of the Year Award (2015). She has been awarded life membership of the Victorian Pride Lobby (2015), Polyvic (2014), Zoe Belle Gender Collective (2013) and Seahorse Victoria (2007). ⠀
⠀
Transgender Victoria gratefully celebrates Sally’s years of service and looks forward to honouring her contributions in person at an appropriate time, given current restrictions, in the future.
