Summary

Talk with former members of the first trans community in Hungary.

The spread of the internet played an important role in the creation of the first trans community in Hungary. Online platforms, such as Bettina's Forum, provided an opportunity for this; members of the Hungarian transgender, transvestite, and crossdresser community later started to meet in person as well. That's how the Tranny Circle of Friends was born, and we talk to former members.

participants: Zsanett, Nóra, ORBÁN Tina Kolos, vice-president of Transvanilla Transgender Association, host: HANZLI Péter, Háttér Archive and Library
