TENI launched the landmark publication, 'Touching the Surface: Trans Voices in Ireland' on 17 May 2012 in Wood Quay Civic Offices, Dublin.
The event drew over 150 people and was launched by the Deputy Lord Mayor, Cllr. Maria Parodi.
“It was a powerful evening! Contributors to the book gave us such a medley of delights, from poetry to political commentary,” said TENI Communications Officer Orlaith O'Sullivan.
“We had a fantastic turnout from TENI's friends and allies, and there was tremendous goodwill and support, which literally had us up on our feet dancing! It was a real celebration, and we ended the evening feeling buoyed by hope for a more inclusive future.”
The launch was part of Dublin City Council's Social Inclusion week and also marked the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (17 May).
“This launch was such a huge success in raising awareness and visibility of trans people in Ireland,” said TENI Director Broden Giambrone. “There is no doubt in my mind that we made a little bit of trans history last night. Our sincere thanks goes out to all the speakers, contributors, volunteers and everyone who came out to support and celebrate trans voices.”
The project was made possible through generous funding from LGBT Communities Fund from The Community Foundation for Ireland and the Social Inclusion Unit of Dublin City Council.
