From Tao to Temple: Taoism, Buddhism, and the Asian Mosaic of Sexuality and Gender
What does Buddhism really teach about sexuality? Can Daoist principles offer a distinctive perspective on gender and identity? To what extent is the lived experience of LGBTQIA+ people in Asia shaped by religion, compared with the influence of family, culture, history and law? From Tao to Temple explores these questions across a region that is anything but uniform. From ancient Buddhist and Daoist traditions to modern LGBTQIA+ communities, marriage equality, popular culture and social media, let us look beyond simplistic assumptions about East and West and explore the many pieces that make up Asia’s complex LGBTQIA+ mosaic.
Transition Tapestry: Transgender Journeys and the Shape of Identity
What does it really mean to be transgender? Beyond the headlines, political arguments, and the increasingly divisive debate, there is a more personal story: a person seeking to understand who they are, how they see themselves, and how they want to live their life. The journey may begin with questions in childhood, whilst for others it may not become clear until adolescence or adulthood. It can involve puberty, self-discovery, social transition, healthcare, hormones, and, for some, simply legal recognition. But there is no single path, no universal timeline, and no requirement to follow every step of a perceived process. Let us explore the journey from identity to transition, and the medical, social and legal decisions that may accompany it. Remember that behind the debate is something that can easily be lost in the headlines: a person simply trying to understand themselves and live authentically.
Crossing Lines: LGBTQIA+ Rights When Emigrating
What happens when the rights you rely on every day stop at the border? As more people than ever before choose to live, work, fall in love, marry, and raise families across borders, many assume their legal rights and family status will travel with them. Yet the reality is often far more complex. A marriage recognised in one country may not be recognised in another. A legally recognised parent may lose parental status abroad. Even the legal protections you enjoy today may not exist tomorrow, as laws continue to evolve and can be expanded, restricted, or reinterpreted. Understanding these legal realities is as important as choosing where to live. Whether you are planning a temporary stay, relocating for work, or beginning a new life overseas, explore the legal challenges of crossing borders, gain practical insight into navigating an increasingly complex legal landscape, and discover whether your rights will travel with you.
