Event: Ignorance of the science worsens the climate crisis and that same blindness hurts trans kids

About 60 people gathered in Shepparton, northern Victoria, just recently as part of a nationwide protest about the Queensland State Government's blindness to the science illustrating why it should stand behind the health and wellbeing of trans kids.In just eight days, four people, Ren Slade, Georgina Poort, Jacq Kiss and Nicole Wells, went from little more than an idea to the reality of a rally of about 60 people.Among the speakers were the parent of a trans person and a founding member of "Transcend Australia", Jo Foster; a trans young person and music performer, Sammi Louise, AKA Lou Baby; and a City of Greater Shepparton councillor, Cr Sam Spinks.The master of ceremonies for the event was Ren Slade, a member of "AusPATH", and Ren encouraged people to support "Project 491".She thanked Elizabeth Capp, the head of campus at Shepparton's "La Trobe University" for allowing the group to use the breezeway facing Shepparton's North St for the gathering.Also, she thanked "Goulburn Valley Pride" for its logistical support and Brad from "Corton Audio".
