There has been a lot of media coverage concerning transgender people in the last few years. However, the British media rarely presents the full picture, and much of the coverage is biased. Trans in the City has brought together a panel of diverse voices to give different perspectives on some of the current issues that have been affecting the transgender community in the UK: Bobbi Pickard (BP), **Iesha Palmer** ([Mermaids](https://mermaidsuk.org.uk/?ref=scenemag.co.uk)), **Joanne Clifton** (Aviva), **Leng Montgomery** (ASOS) and **Rebecca Tallon de Havilland** (56 Dean Street). ![](https://www.scenemag.co.uk/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/headshot1-copy.jpg) Bobbi Pickard – Trans in the City Events on **Monday, November 16** continue at **5pm** with **Time to be a Trans Ally** with **PWC**; then **Sammie Howard**, founder of trans support group **[T&Coffee](https://www.tandcoffee.co.uk/?ref=scenemag.co.uk)**, is live on **Trans Radio UK** at **6pm**, tune in [by clicking here](http://www.transradiouk.com/?ref=scenemag.co.uk). **Tuesday, November 17** at **12pm**: **Assimilationism – Acceptance over Authenticity…** with T&Coffee founders Jason & Samantha. ![](https://www.scenemag.co.uk/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/tandcoffee-credi-tcoffee-e1583947000783-1600x900-1.jpg) In this discussion about the pressures of assimilationism on the transgender community, the hosts will talk you through the damage it can do to individuals, to the community as a whole, and present ideas which can be used to enable people of any gender identity to live with authenticity.
