1. Seek out people who have different life experiences to yours and listen when they talk. It sounds simple, but it's probably the most effective thing you can do as an individual!
2. Be curious, don't rely on other people to educate you! If you don't understand why something is offensive or upsetting, look online or read a book.
3. Ask your GP if they offer shared care arrangements for gender-affirmative treatments (and if not, why not).
4. Respect people's identity and stand up for them, even when they're not in the room.
5. Be consistent! Make sure others know they can rely on you to continue being an ally, even when things get uncomfortable for you.
We have a DONATE button in the top right of the page if you want to contribute to the running costs of the group or maybe help some of our less-privileged members join in with events that cost money.
You could also donate to Vic's fundraiser for gender confirmation hormones!
And if you want to publicly show your support, we have a merchandise range including tops, hoodies, cloth bags, jewellery, keyrings, and pretty much anything else you might want our logo on.
