As a transgender individual I am still very patiently waiting for my new birth certificate, to show the correct sex or gender information for months now. Not holding my breath!

That is a huge violation of human rights in 2019! It is not just about cisgender gay men who get bashed and murdered. Our intersex, transgender (and non-binary individuals such as myself) have been ignored and “kicked in the long grass” for far too long and are far more likely to be raped, bashed, be victims of hate crime and/or murdered. In heading towards 2020 – things need to change immediately.
