Posters

The ZBGC created this poster series to provide the TGD and broader LGBTIQA+ community with resources grounded in self-determination and empowerment. The posters are designed to help allies and services demonstrate their support and inclusion.

Speaking out for Solidarity and Connection!

This campaign shines a light on the connection between trans women and non-binary trans femme people, and people of other genders. These posters based upon are real stories from people across the country in a variety of relationships – everything from friendships to romance. We celebrate the importance of trans women and non-binary trans femmes in our relationships, LGBTQ+ communities and broader societies. This campaign is the product of conversations between Zoe Belle Gender Collective and ACON. To find out more about this campaign click here.

These posters are designed to support engagement with our campaign www.transfemme.com.au and promote healthier relationships between trans women and cis men.Some of our posters reference “cis men” (cisgender men) whilst others reference “men”. It is best practice to use the word cis when referring to cis men specifically. However, in instances where a community may not be familiar with the term, it may be appropriate to use familiar language to support engagement.

Celebrate LGBTI+ Blakfullas

Gender Diversity is Welcome Here poster

Download our Celebrate LGBTI+ Blakfullas poster >

Designed by Wiradjuri and Ngiyaampa artist Charlotte Allingham, and created in partnership with Elizabeth Morgan House and Thorne Harbour Health, this poster was designed for community as well as service to celebrate, increase representation, awareness and support for LGBTIQA+ first nations people.

LGBTIQA+ people have existed within the lands now known as ‘Australia’ for tens of thousands of years. Many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations and cultures had their own understandings, language, roles and culture surrounding LGBTI+ identities.   Unfortunately, British colonisation disrupted and dispossessed many of these understandings through the impacts of massacres, missions, stolen generations and ongoing racist attitudes and policies. British colonisation also brought laws and attitudes that criminalised and discriminated against LGBTI+ people. Despite this, many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander remain strong and proud in their LGBTI+ and cultural identities. LGBTI+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be celebrated, and their voices raised every day.

Some folks use they/them pronouns

Some Folks Use They/Them Pronouns poster

Download our They/Them Pronouns poster >

This poster was designed to validate and increase awareness around people who use they/them pronouns. The poster uses colours (yellow, white, purple and black) from the non-binary flag to reinforce non-binary visibility.

Pronouns are the words we use instead of people’s names. ‘He/Him’, ‘She/Her’, and ‘They/Them’ are some examples of commonly used pronouns. Many trans and gender diverse people change their pronouns and/or name to better reflect their gender identity or experience. ‘They/them’ is used as a singular pronoun by many people, especially non-binary people, as it is gender neutral.

To learn more about pronouns and practice how to use them, check out Minus18’s pronouns App: https://www.minus18.org.au/pronouns-app

This poster is designed for services and spaces who wish to be more inclusive of trans and gender diverse people.

Transphobia is the fear, hatred or intolerance of transgender and gender diverse people. Transphobia comes in many forms and may be overt (such as physical or verbal abuse), casual (such as jokes, stereotypes, accidental misgendering), or embedded within societal systems and structures (such as laws that restrict people’s bodily autonomy, or having only male or female options on forms).

It is important that services and spaces that want to be more inclusive of trans and gender diverse people have a zero tolerance stance on transphobia. This should then be communicated to all staff, volunteers and clients who enter the space or use the service.

I’m Feeling Gender Euphoric

I'm Feeling Gender Euphoric poster

Download our Gender Euphoric poster >

This strength-based poster has been designed for trans and gender diverse community members and provides a positive, alternative message around what it means to be trans or gender diverse.

Button for further information: It’s important that trans and gender diverse identities aren’t seen only through a negative lens. When trans and gender diverse people are able to express themselves in ways that feel right for them, gender identity can be a very positive thing. Gender euphoria is the sense of happiness a trans or gender diverse person may experience from affirming their own gender identity and being affirmed by others.

Terminology
Pathologisation: to view or characterise someone or something as medically or psychologically abnormal.
Gender dysphoria: the formal diagnosis used by psychologists and physicians to describe people who experience significant dysphoria (distress) with the sex and gender they were assigned at birth. Whilst some trans and gender diverse people experience gender dysphoria, this isn’t the experience of all trans people and should never determine whether someone is or isn’t trans or “how trans” they are.

For more information see ZBGC’s depathologisation resource (Coming soon!)
