Supporting the transgender people in your life: a guide to being a good ally

Learning to be an ally to the transgender people in your life or to transgender people overall, is an ongoing process. Some ways to be a good ally are relatively simple and easy, while others require more time, energy, and commitment. Whether you’re looking for information on supporting a transgender person in your life or looking for tools that will help you to change the world to be better for transgender people overall, this book can help.

Interacting with transgender people:

• Use the language a transgender person uses for themselves.
• If you don’t know what pronouns to use, ask.
• Be careful and considerate about what other questions you ask.
• Someone’s transgender identity is their private information to share, or not.
• Avoid compliments or advice based on stereotypes about transgender people or about how men and women should look or act.

Trans history

There have always been trans and gender-variant people throughout history. Whenever, wherever on this earth, we will find people who contravene gender boundaries. I'm not talking about the small ways of "queering" gender, such as the lesbian separatists who wore dungarees in the 1970s. I mean the big ways: not just queering gender, but crossing gender. I mean the drive that makes people risk so much to represent a gender they feel is theirs and yet is very different to the social, cultural, and legal expectations of their birth sex. 

Whatever culture, country, or epoch you choose to research, you will find a history of individuals who, if they lived now, we might now refer to as trans people.
