Hello there! My name is Michael and I want to be your Trans Rep!
I am a first year politics student here at ARU. I use he/him/his pronouns, and like many other people, I've enjoyed getting to be my unapologetic queer nerdy self since I arrived.
Voting for me would mean you’re voting for a guy who is incredibly passionate about ensuring the representation and protection of all my fellow trans and/or nonbinary and/or gender non-conforming students, as well as those who are questioning. I want to help ARU give its trans students the optimum uni experience that all students deserve.
I feel that I have great ideas that will help create and sustain a strong trans community here at ARU, my ultimate goal being to organise frequent, regular socials to ensure a trans safe space can be made accessible to all students, no matter their identity.
I would also like to work towards making the trans community better known and understood by students and staff, because it would be good to be able to limit judgement, confusion or prejudice through schemes such as drop-in sessions or easily accessible information.
In my short time here, I've already been able to offer support to other students who have discovered that they fall under the trans* umbrella, and if you vote for me, I will only work harder with your mandate to fulfil my promises to you.
Thank you very much for your time,
Michael.
