We are proud to present our latest International Report of the Interviews with Trans-Gender & Non-Binary Artists & Individuals. This comprehensive document offers a comparative look at the lived realities of 12 individuals across five diverse European landscapes: France, Italy, Romania, Serbia, and Spain.

By bridging personal testimonies with an analysis of political and legal contexts, this report goes beyond statistics to reveal the human stories behind the policies.

Key Insights from the Report

Here is a glimpse of what you will discover inside:

• A Patchwork of Legal Realities: The report highlights the different situations in France, Spain, Italy, Serbia and Romania, and it gives an overview of their legal framework which ranges from more open to more conservative ones.
• Burden of Education: A cross-cutting theme found in every country is the exhausting responsibility that seems to be placed on trans and non-binary individuals to constantly educate society to dismantle stereotypes — a job that should belong to educational institutions and the media.
• Art as a Vehicle for Survival and Change: For the artists interviewed, creativity is not just a profession; it is a tool for survival. Whether through drag in Serbia, dance in Italy, or theater in Spain, these artists are deconstructing gender norms and creating visibility, even while facing typecasting within the cultural industry.
• The Invisibility of Non-Binary Identities: Even in the most progressive contexts analyzed, the report uncovers a widespread lack of legal and social recognition for non-binary people, who are often dismissed as following a “trend” or forced into binary transition pathways.
