Candidate for the position of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Officer
Don't let the Muggles get you down
Hi, I’m Alex. I believe it's time for UWE to have their first Transgender LGBT+ Officer. That is because Trans representation is deeply lacking within the Students’ Union. If we are to embody UWE’s values of ‘Light, Liberty and Learning’, we need to understand and represent all students at UWE, including transgender people. As your next LGBT+ Officer I will:
Promotion of more Sober events.
Build stronger links with the University of Bristol and LGBT+ societies of other universities.
I want to start more fundraising campaigns focusing on charities that contribute to the LGBT+ community.
I want better access to information regarding sexual health for LGBT+ students.
I will work closely with the LGBT+ Society to consult with all LGBT+ students on issues affecting them, with focus given those currently underrepresented, e.g. Trans*, Pansexual and Bisexual people.
Promote more access of mental health support for the LGBT+ students on all campuses.
Put more pressure on the University to enforce LGBT*+ essential equality protections, including closer and stronger links with campus security and the police. I will work with all LGBT* identifying students to achieve these goals.
