Excellent Irish Trans Documentary

In 1992 the European Court of Human Rights declared that the ability to change gender markers on official documents was a right that all European citizens should enjoy. More than 20 years later, trans people in many countries still struggle to obtain that right. One of the EU countries with the worst records on trans rights is Ireland. Thankfully things are slowly beginning to change, and much of that is due to the hard work of Irish trans activists. Last week TV3, an Irish TV channel, aired a documentary about three trans people (one of them an American immigrant), made in collaboration with TENI (Transgender Equality Network Ireland). It is very good. There are apparently some restrictions on viewing it in North America, but people from most parts of the world should be able to view it at the TV3 website. Here’s hoping this program encourages the Irish government to finally bring their long-delayed gender recognition legislation before parliament.
