asterisk is a group/association of trans*people and allies that works towards making policies more inclusive, creating visibility, and furthering the political and medical autonomy of gender nonconforming people. We strive for an inclusive society beyond the gender binary.
The trans* community faces systemic oppression of our rights to bodily autonomy, self-determination, and recognition of identity. Trans* people are often excluded in conversations that are crucial to the process of securing our basic human rights. We want to ensure that trans* voices are heard and included in decision-making conversations relevant to trans* rights. To that end, we aim to educate diverse audiences on trans* rights issues and work towards inclusive policy changes in (local) institutions.
We use the term trans* as it is used by the community at the moment, as an umbrella term inclusive of all identities that oppose biological and binary thinking of gender in the Eurocentric/Christian context.
