Academic career

Veale has a master's degree from Massey University, completed in 2005. [2] After a 2011 PhD titled Biological and psychosocial correlates of gender-variant and gender-typical identities also at Massey University, [3] Veale moved to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada for three years, before returning to New Zealand and the University of Waikato. [1]

In 2017, Veale was funded to research transgender health and "the first comprehensive research project into the health and wellbeing of trans and non-binary people in New Zealand". [4] [5] [6]

In 2019–2021, Veale and her work supported changes in the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Bill to make it easier for people to change the details on their birth certificates. [7] [8] [9]

In 2021, Veale gave a Radio New Zealand interview about the anti-trans backlash to weightlifter Laurel Hubbard representing New Zealand at the 2020 Olympics, in which she described the response as an attempt to deny trans people their human rights. [10] A complaint was laid with the Broadcasting Standards Agency, but it was not upheld. [11] Veale is researching the media coverage of Hubbard. [12]

Transphobia consists of negative attitudes, feelings, or actions towards transgender people or transness in general.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Transgender</span> Gender identity other than sex assigned at birth

A transgender person is someone whose gender identity or gender expression does not correspond with the sex they were assigned at birth. Many experience gender dysphoria, which they may seek to alleviate through transitioning, often adopting a different name and set of pronouns in the process. They may pursue gender affirming care such as hormone replacement therapy and various gender-affirming surgeries. Not all transgender people desire these treatments and others may be unable to access them for financial or medical reasons. Those who do desire to medically transition to another sex may identify as transsexual.

Cisnormativity or cissexual assumption is the assumption that everyone is, or ought to be, cisgender. The term can further refer to a wider range of presumptions about gender assignment, such as the presumption of a gender binary, or expectations of conformity to gender roles even when transgender identities are otherwise acknowledged. Cisnormativity is a form of cisgenderism, an ideology which promotes various normative ideas about gender, to the invalidation of individuals' own gender identities, analogous to heterosexism or ableism.
