Other things to do during the conference
- TransTrans: Transnational Trans* Histories Curated by Birgit Lang and Katie Sutton, TransTrans explores transnational networks of trans people who shaped early gender-diverse histories between the 1900s and the 1960s, showing in the VPC Pride Gallery from September 19 – November 3 2024.
- Hares and Hyenas This community bookshop on the ground floor of the Victorian Pride Centre specialises in queer identity, sexuality, sex and gender diversity.
