The Gender Fluidity Project is currently looking for participants who would like to contribute with their opinion and experience to create a wealth of resources and materials to raise awareness around gender issues.
It may be you identify as 'Trans' or not we would still like to hear from you as well! Your opinions and experiences are just as important in gaining a valuable insight into the nature of gender.
The project is looking to explore and document the experience or opinion of anyone who has something to say around gender identity, expression, roles, stereotypes and presentations.
Contributions can be recorded in a number of ways depending on what individuals are comfortable with and would be happy to disclose.
For example, we have already teamed up a photographer with a transsexual woman who is telling her story through photography. Another volunteer is also keeping a diary detailing the transition and the changes that are taking place day-by-day.
