Tributes have started flowing for Tasmanian transgender activist Roz Houston, who passed away in Burnie on Monday after a long illness.
Houston — a passionate human rights campaigner — was said to be one of the first transgender Tasmanians to openly speak out against transphobia and discrimination in the southern state.
Tasmanian transgender spokeswoman Martine Delaney hailed Houston as a "trailblazer."
