YouTube video of "Trans And..." including a speaker talking about their autism.

I’m trans, and I’m also…
The media is full of discussions about what trans people are and are not. With all of the misinformation and transphobia following the recent proposed reforms to the Gender Recognition Act, why not hear from some trans people in their own words about who they are.
In a series of interviews and videos, we’ll be covering topics ranging from neurodiversity and popular culture to gender euphoria and coming out later in life. Join us to hear from a wide range of trans people about their lives, experiences, and what we can all do to support trans rights.

This panel was originally streamed in collaboration with Bristol Pride for Bristol Pride Online.
This event was originally streamed live and there were unfortunately several technical issues at the time. We have since edited the video to remove as many problems as possible but please be aware there are still several technical issues in the recording.
