Her story is too rich to tell in one episode – so here’s the second of two episodes featuring Kate Toyer, BVSc, MANZCVS (Surgery), veterinary surgeon, feminist, and president of Australian Rainbow Veterinarians and Allies (ARVA). Right off the bat in this hour, she weighs in on why so many people allow fear to drive their attitudes towards the trans and gender diverse community: “Just by being in the room, a trans person challenges everything you thought you knew... every single piece of the way society is built.” And with LGBTQIA+ rights under attack in over half of the United States alone, that fear can be life-threatening to people who, in Kate’s words, are “literally just trying to exist.”
Follow Kate, ARVA and The Veterinary Kaleidoscope Summit, Australia’s first face-to-face veterinary conference dedicated to diversity and inclusion, on LinkedIn!
Allyship means more than four weeks of rainbow logos on social media. For our colleagues in the LGBTQIA+ community right now, love alone isn’t enough. Visit https://pridevmc.org/allyship-resources/ to learn about essential ways you can encourage, empower, and take action on behalf of fellow veterinary professionals and their families. AAHA is proud to be a signatory and supporter of the Gender Identity Bill of Rights.
