    Episode 24: Dr Jane Connory and Dr Shivani Tyagi

    The Latest in LGBTIQ+ Health and Policy is a podcast that brings you the health and well-being hot topic discussions that matter to LGBTIQ+ people. On this episode, we chat to Dr Jane Connory and Dr Shivani Tyagi from the School of Design + Architecture at Swinburne University of Technology to discuss their study “Helping to destigmatise the use of period products for trans, masculine presenting, non-binary and gender diverse (TMNG) consumers through an inclusive communication design framework”. This study aimed to understand the experiences that trans, masculine presenting, non-binary and gender diverse (TMNG) people who menstruate have with period product packaging and marketing and identified opportunities for improvement through an inclusive communication design framework. We discussed the motivation for the research study as well as the journey of the research itself.

Sphen and Magic began developing a strong bond in 2018 and became inseparable before breeding season. As breeding season fast approached, the couple started collecting ‘pebbles’ to create a nest in their spot, and now have more pebbles than any other couple! Swapping duties daily, while one of the parents is doing their best to incubate the egg, the other is patrolling the perimeters of the nest, warding off any potential pebble thieves or over-inquisitive neighbours. The team at Sea Life Sydney fostered a real egg to them from another couple who had two. In October of 2018, the two successfully hatched baby Sphengic! Today, the couple is still going strong and has paired up for a third breeding season! This podcast was produced by JOY Media – Australia’s Rainbow Community Media Organisation.
