How to be an ally to trans, enby and GNC people
This poster is made by Wednesday, a queer and agender / non binary artist living in London. Their art is colourful and inspiring, and being an ally myself, I found this one particularily useful. The advice is:
- Listen to and share stories. Act when asked to, and know when to ‘pass the mic’
- If you see someone bing harrassed, talk to the victim only. Ask if they are OK, and can you help get them somewhere safe
- Let trans, enby and GNC people speak for themselves
- Use your privilege to ask for gender neutral language and toilets. Ask for your office to have trans awareness training
- Challenge transphobia
- Prioritise pronound
- Hire trans, enby and GNC people
- Learn for yourself. Don’t ecpect emotional labour
