Trans* and intersex people are among the most marginalised groups in Croatia. Furthermore, few Croatians know much
about trans* and intersex issues, which is a fertile ground for a development of stereotypes and prejudices of trans* and
intersex people. The consequences for trans* and intersex people are striking and include social exclusion, rejection by
friends and family, difficulties in finding a job and inadequate health care, among others. This project is conceived as a
follow up project to youth exchange Classroom Inclusion, where participants analysed the topics of stereotypes and
prejudices, including those towards LGBTI people. On one workshop the participants listened to the lecture by an
intersex person about his problems in the Croatian health system. This lecture had a deep impact on the participants so
they conceived this project through which they want to raise awareness among young people, and especially among
young people who are studying to become doctors and nurses, about the problems trans* and intersex people are
facing.
Trans* i interspolne osobe među najmarginaliziranijim su skupinama u Hrvatskoj. Osim toga, malo Hrvata zna mnogo
o temama vezanima uz trans* i interspolne osobe, što je plodno tlo za razvoj stereotipa i predrasuda o trans* i
interspolnim osobama. Posljedice za trans* i interspolne osobe su teške, a među njima su socijalna isključenost, odbacivanje od strane
prijatelja i obitelji, teškoće pri pronalaženju posla i neodgovarajuća zdravstvena skrb. Ovaj je projekt zamišljen kao
nastavak razmjene mladih Classroom Inclusion, na kojoj su sudionici analizirali teme stereotipa i
predrasuda, uključujući one prema LGBTI osobama. Na jednoj radionici sudionici su slušali predavanje
interspolne osobe o njegovim problemima u hrvatskom zdravstvenom sustavu. To je predavanje duboko djelovalo na sudionike pa
su osmislili ovaj projekt kojim žele podići svijest mladih, a posebno
mladih koji se školuju za liječnike i medicinske sestre, o problemima s kojima se trans* i interspolne osobe
suočavaju.
