Personal stories and some glamor: the TransTrans exhibition at the Victorian Pride Center

It has never been easy for marginalized groups. This is also and particularly true for transgender people. As early as during the Weimar Republic, some scientists and doctors wanted to do something about this. They built important networks and support for transgender people. And over the years, these networks spanned the entire world. An exhibition at the Victoria Pride Center in Melbourne documents these networks.

During the opening of the exhibition, we spoke with curators Professor Birgit Lang and Professor Katy Sutton. And visitors told us their very personal impressions of the exhibition.
