"In her address to the National Press Club of Australia today, actress, writer
and advocate Georgie Stone OAM is sharing her experience as a young trans
person growing up in Australia.
Georgie’s story highlights her courage and determination to overcome barriers
that prevent young trans people from accessing gender affirming health care and
support. At just 22, Georgie has been recognised for her tireless work to
reduce discrimination and remove systemic barriers for young trans people, who
were subjected to attacks at recent protests in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra.
In the face of this negativity, Georgie’s story emphasises how we can better
support the trans community and calls particular attention to the pivotal role
families play in supporting trans children and adolescents to thrive and reach
their full potential."
