(*In order from A-Z of names)


* Heejung Roh (Representative/Counseling) (she/her)

She provides psychological counseling for sexual minorities and is one of the facilitators of TGG. I operate under the mindset that gender diversity is not something to be interpreted, but something that naturally exists and is not something I should understand and accept.


Hmm...what should I write?! "


* Junu (Financial Management/Academic Research) (he/his)

I have been working on transgender human rights since 2006 and am currently working as a permanent deacon at the ‘Korean Transgender Rights Organization JOGAKBO.’ While majoring in women's studies, she studied the process of transgender identity formation.

Recently, she has been thinking about the meaning of gender identity from various angles, using bisexuality and polyamory as keywords.


* Lina Jin (Coalition/Outreach) (he/they)

She is in charge of external cooperation/public relations at JOGAKBO. When someone asks about my identity, I reply, “Trans Masculine, a medical transitioner.” Even though they are unable to make a living, they still consider transgender human rights activities their main base.

I make a living as a field activist to support victims of gender violence, and as a side character, I am a kane hula dancer who shares the spirit of Aloha. She considers the intersection of anti-sexual violence activism and transgender rights activism.


* Yi-eum (Promotion/Fundraising) (they/them)

A busy person who dances, sings, writes, and draws. I'm in charge of this and that. (? I'm in charge of promotion and sponsorship?)


* Yoodle (Design/Legal Advice) (they/them)

You guys. I don't think I can define myself with words that already exist, and I don't even want to define myself. I find it difficult when someone asks me about my identity, but when someone asks me what my journey with identity has been, I happily answer.
