TRANScend the Silence – Presentation
TRANScend The Silence (TCS) is a french initiative aiming to reveal transphobia in everyday life by sharing testimonies from those who send them to us, or from ourselves. There is a french equivalent that was created way before and exists on Tumblr and Facebook (Transpercer le Silence), and as of today, it helped transgenders to not stay alone, speak out, move on and fight.
We don’t want it to be only available to french speakers. This is kind of an extension of the first website, to get visibility and awareness world wide.
This is what this tumblr is about. You can share at anytime your testimonies, and this will be the visibility and awareness platform. By the time you make your own testimonies you might see our testimonies released, at least some of them, so that you can get the idea.
We won’t be limited to that. This will also be a place to share articles we find relevant, or to pass on trans crowd funding or associations proposals the same way.
Last but not least, here are some ways you can join us :
Some informations that could help when you send your testimony :
your name - only if you want to (you can stay anonymous)
your e-mail if you want to be notified of when your testimony has been shared on social medias
When, where, what, has it been seen on the web, a bit of context
What the person said to you – or did to you
Do you agree on having your testimony used for other activist projects ?
That being said, take care of yourselves and see you around sometimes !
