While the transphobes in the federal Coalition government have not given up on pushing their anti-trans agenda, they face some stiff challenges, according Transgender Victoria spokesperson Sally Goldner.

LGBTIQ activist Sally Goldner was inducted into the Victorian Women鈥檚 Honour Roll on March 7. The Honour Roll acknowledges and celebrates the outstanding achievements of Victorian women.
Goldner is the first trans woman to be inducted into the Honour Roll. She said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 really affirming for myself and for trans and bi woman that this recognition has happened. To be in the company of such a diverse range of women is very empowering.鈥
