Organiser Katherine Johnson, Professor of Psychology and Sexualities and founding Director of the Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender, said: “We are delighted to be hosting the third Annual Trans, Non-Binary and Intersex Conference, working with partners across Brighton & Hove to make the city more inclusive.

“We've secured high profile keynote speakers, including our alumna Munroe, and are particularly pleased to have such a strong programme of presentations from Intersex UK. We are also grateful to our funders as without their ongoing financial support this event could not remain free for members of the trans, non-binary and intersex communities.” 

Professor Debra Humphris, Vice Chancellor and University Executive Board LGBT+ Equality Champion at the 香蕉直播 said: “The 香蕉直播 is proud to support The Annual Trans, Non-Binary and Intersex Conference, which is an important event for both the university and the city. The conference was born from the city’s Trans Needs Assessment and research conducted between the university and . We are committed to continue to work with partners across the city to ensure that trans, non-binary and intersex people thrive in our community.”

Sarah Tighe-Ford, Equalities Manager at Brighton and Hove City Council said: “The Trans Need Assessment was commissioned by the Council to address issues highlighted by the Trans Equality Scrutiny Group, which identified the trans and non-binary community as a vulnerable group and highlighted the need to remove the stigma and build relationships. The Annual Trans, Non-Binary and Intersex Conference is a fascinating event and a valuable opportunity for people to find out how they can help ensure that the needs of trans, non-binary and intersex people in our city are met.”
