PS propõe alteração ao código laboral para acabar com discriminação dos transexuais
Segundo o relatório da Agência da União Europeia para os Direitos Fundamentais, 60% das mulheres transexuais e 43% dos homens transexuais sentiram discriminação na procura de emprego.
Disforia de sexo, esta é nova, e não será com esta iniciativa que a discriminação vai acabar, eram precisas cotas, pelo menos para não haver tanta trans assumida desempregada (o mesmo para pessoas com idades mais avançadas). E 60% das mulheres trans na UE parece-me uma estimativa demasiado optimista, considerando os niveis de transfobia exitentes.

Advancement of transgender's rights
The term “third gender” describes individuals who are categorised as neither man nor woman. Although nothing seems more natural to us than those human beings who are divided into two genders, masculine and feminine. However, the world is slowly moving towards the formal recognition of the existence of a third gender. As reported by the Global Issues Section in the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the rights of transgender people, particularly to say, their own identity and access to health, education, work, housing and other rights are being increasingly widely recognised. To be noted, there has long been a tradition of a third gender in the region of South Asia, known as hijras, and neighbours to Bangladesh particularly India, Nepal and Pakistan have already given the recognition to the third gender people.

Auston Björkman is the First Openly Transgender Male Designer On the High-End Fashion Scene, And His Androgynous Vision is Incredible
His designs have been featured in Vogue Italia and GQ and his line Sir New York has been worn by the likes of Usher and French Montana — so far. If the acclaim and attention continue at the pace they’ve been pouring in, I’m sure we’re only going to see more of Auston Björkman’s futuristic, androgynous designs (which Complex Magazine has deemed “athletic goth”) in 2015. His latest fashion show was called “Unconventional Masculinity,” which nicely summarizes not only his clothing but his design theory and his delight at playing with notions of gender in fashion.
