Trans Awareness Week

---

This week is Trans Awareness Week.

We thought we’d share a few simple (or perhaps not so simple, depending on our respective conditioning) things you can do to support the Trans community - not just this week, but every day.

1. Learn and respect peoples correct pronouns

2. Give people room to explore themselves and their identity

3. Create safe spaces for discussion and self-inquiry

4. Speak up against overheard transphobic rhetoric

5. Be patient with people as they change and evolve

6. Don’t police bathrooms

7. Don’t assume anyones gender, no matter how they present themselves.

8. Refrain from addressing people as “man” “ladies” “girls” upon greeting.

9. Consume art, writing, film and media produced by trans people.

10. Donate to crowd fundings for surgeries (share if donating is not within your means)

11. Educate and understand what more you can do to be an ally

12. Practice empathy without projecting your experience

13. LISTEN to trans and GNC voices
