TRANSFABULOUS - Ethan & Tiff

Sunday, 20 August 2023 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm
TRANSFABULOUS - Two trans men from Malaysia embarked on a courageous journey seeking freedom and refuge in Melbourne - Narrm, Australia. Identifying as trans masculine, Ethan and Tiff grew up in different cultural environments, with Tiff in a traditional Chinese household and Ethan in a Muslim household. In their homeland, they faced discrimination and marginalization due to their identity. However, upon their arrival in Melbourne - Narrm, they discovered a society that embraced and included them, providing solace and happiness. Finally, they could fully express their true selves and exercise their right to freedom of expression. Melbourne - Narrm became a haven where they could thrive without fear of judgment and freely explore their identities. The vibrant city brought them immense joy and a sense of belonging, enabling them to flourish within a diverse community that values and respects individuality.
 
We are well aware of the dangers faced by transgender individuals in Malaysia. Conversion therapy is still practiced in the country, and trans individuals may be forcibly subjected to such harmful practices without their consent. In contrast, Australia provides a safer environment for Ethan & Tiff. The laws and societal attitudes in Australia are more inclusive and accepting, offering greater protection and support for transgender individuals. We believe that being in Australia offers Ethan & Tiff a significant improvement in terms of personal safety and well-being. Don't miss the opportunity to hear their inspiring story this episode on Queering The Air.
