Berlin Trans Rights Panel Discussion

This panel discussion I'm posting was organized by the Heinrich Boll Foundation and took place in Berlin on October 5.  It was discussing the Transrespect Vs Transphobia (TvT) Project and included panelists from several nations and different regions of the world. 

One of the panelists I was delighted to discover as I watched this unfold was Naomi Fontanos, the chairwoman of STRAP, the Society of Transsexual Women of the Philippines.   STRAP is the world renowned premier trans rights and trans empowerment organization based in the Philippines and Fontanos spoke about the situations of transpeople in East and Southeast Asia.
