In the past few months there has been a great pressure on the rights of transgender persons in Croatia. From the recent parliamentary session on transgender children and young adults, to the decision of the Electronic Media Council to fund research of the so-called epidemic of transsexualism, we are witnessing a real flood of transphobia, manipulation of research data and figures for political purposes, panic-mongering and haranguing against LGBT persons. On the International Transgender Visibility Day we are organising a panel about the position of transgender persons with the aim of raising awareness about the discrimination they face on a daily basis, the importance of education and presence in society, and acceptance of gender diversities which can lead to new forms of togetherness.
