My gender identity is a search for all people in our society about their own gender identity. This project is a new initiative of Planet Gender.

Gender identity: down-to-earth femme
Biggest taboo and what to do about it: Silence & invisibility – more, diverse, complex, fun, good… representations in media
Suggestions for a more tolerant society: education for all – adequate health care access for trans people

Gender identity: relaxed ftm (but NOT during the festival)
Biggest taboo and what to do about it: The notion that gender is fluid and not fixed. Solution: be* out* there! (visibility).
Suggestions for a more tolerant society: Make a TV comedy series about transgender community.
