5 Tips on How to Be a Trans Ally
By Lucy Putruele, Facilities Coordinator at Rapport
- Respect pronouns, if you don't know the pronouns - listen first.
- Don't make assumptions: either about sexuality or how a trans person should look.
- Be respectful: (don't ask their "birth name" or ask about their body)
- Give them a platform, Show up, support their causes, if they are asking for change just support. They know what they need, what they don't have, what's unfair. Fight with them not for them.
- Stop transphobia, speak up. Challenge people who are transphobic, report transphobic comments.
