The latest newsletter from The Diversity Trust has been published. As usual there is a lot of good content.

I’m delighted to see us getting into the field of easy reading training. That’s essential to so many areas of social engagement.

Our new recruit, Aaron Barnes, talks about the difficulties of getting proper medical testing when you are very obviously a man but happen to have a vagina.

Berkeley talks about issues affecting older members of the LGBT community — something that has grown in part out of the event we did in October as part of the Bristol Festival of Literature.

There’s a section on the wonderful people at SARI whom we work with on hate crime issues. Some of the stories that they tell about things that happen to trans people in Bristol are just terrifying. Much too terrifying to be put in the newsletter.

Also there’s news of a project being run by Bristol University looking at justice and gender-based violence. There’s more information about that here.

You can read the whole newsletter here.
