Essex Council slammed for depicting transgender person as miserable man
A COUNCIL cartoon depicted a transgender person as a miserable man taking off a wig.
Campaigners said the consultation on library cuts was “offensive and discriminatory”.
Residents were asked to tick their gender, with a smiling man and woman as “male” and “female”.
However an unhappy man taking off a wig was “transgender” in the online document from Essex County Council.
Save our Libraries Essex campaigner Liz Miles said: “It’s a shockingly negative and inaccurate image.”
She added: “Its negative impact is increased by being put alongside positive photographs of a smiling man and woman”.
Bea Marshall, who gives fashion advice to transgender people, said the council was treating the “marginalised and misunderstood community as a joke”.
The council, which has removed the image, said the document was provided by a firm which works with residents with learning disabilities.
A spokesman added: “We are sorry for any offence caused.”
