Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) communities in Britain experience wide-ranging inequalities. Often fuelled by media coverage 'Romaphobic' attitudes, can be found across British society. A (2022) YouGov/UofBirmingham report found they are the most disliked of all communities in the UK.Concurrently, since 2015, the UK has slipped from being the most progressive 'gay rights' nation in Europe - occupying the top spot in the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association's, annual 'Rainbow Map - in 2020 to 10th place and falling. Governmental ambivalence around trans rights and rampant anti-trans rhetoric in the British media, has had a significant negative impact on the quality of life of trans and gender-diverse people.A 2017 Stonewall report found trans, non-binary and gender-diverse children and young people experience disproportionately high levels of mental ill health, whilst Greenfields & Rogers (2020) have highlighted the enormous impact on mental health and suicide ideation of GRT community members of exposure to discrimination and hate crime. This growing resistance to trans rights, paired with persistent racism towards Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, positions GRT transgender youth in an exceptionally vulnerable intersectional position (BBC/ de Gallier, 2022). However, there is a distinct lack of research about gender-diverse young GRT people, whose voices are rarely heard.This project will result in the first in-depth account of gender-diverse young GRT people's experiences in Britain. It will use heritage sites such as museums, archives and cultural/community hubs as a medium through which to enable young GRT persons to explore and celebrate their experiences of racial and sexual identity and compare their narratives with that of their LBGTQ+ elders.By redressing the lacuna in museum and heritage representation of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, this project hopes to bring about social change and empower young gender-diverse GRT people in Britain today

英国的吉普赛人、罗姆人和旅行者(GRT)社区经历了广泛的不平等。英国社会普遍存在这种情况，这往往是由于媒体报道中的“恐罗症”态度造成的。YouGov/Uf Birmingham(2022年)的一份报告发现，他们是英国所有社区中最不受欢迎的。与此同时，自2015年以来，英国已经从欧洲最进步的同性恋权利国家--在2020年国际女同性恋者、男同性恋者、双性恋者、跨性别者和双性人协会的年度“彩虹地图”中占据榜首--跌至第10位，而且还在下降。政府对跨性别者权利的矛盾态度和英国媒体中猖獗的反跨性别者言论，已经对跨性别者和性别多样化的人的生活质量产生了重大的负面影响。2017年的一份石墙报告发现，跨性别者、非双性恋者和性别多样化的儿童和年轻人经历了不成比例的高水平的心理疾病，而Greenfield&Rogers(2020)强调了暴露在歧视和仇恨犯罪中的GRT社区成员的心理健康和自杀意念的巨大影响。对变性人权利日益增长的抵制，加上对吉普赛人、罗姆人和旅行者社区的持续种族主义，使GRT变性人青年处于特别脆弱的交叉地位(BBC/de Gallier，2022)。然而，关于不同性别的年轻GRT人群的研究明显不足，他们的声音很少被听到。这个项目将首次深入描述英国不同性别的年轻GRT人群的经历。它将利用博物馆、档案馆和文化/社区枢纽等遗产遗址作为媒介，使GRT年轻人能够探索和庆祝他们的种族和性别认同经历，并将他们的叙述与LBGTQ+长辈的叙述进行比较。通过纠正吉普赛人、罗姆人和旅行者社区在博物馆和遗产代表方面的空白，该项目希望带来社会变革，并赋予当今英国不同性别的GRT年轻人权力
