TransActual UK was founded by a group of British trans people in 2017 as a response to increasing press hostility, transphobia and misinformation. We are run by the trans community, with the trans community, for the trans community. In June 2020 we expanded our scope and remit to: •Share reliable information about trans people’s lives and about trans rights in the UK, as well as dispelling common myths •Amplify the voices of trans people so that the wider world may hear the experiences of a wide range of trans men, trans women and non-binary people •Educate people about trans people's lives and the issues we face •Advocate for trans people •Empower trans people to bring about change in their lives and in the community

“Trans people aren’t a threat to anyone; hate born by ignorance is. All trans (including non binary) people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, no matter who we are and where we are at with our medical and social transition. Look beyond the hype and fear-mongering in the press. Become the representation you want to see yourself.” Fox Fisher #Trans #Transgender #TransRights #LGBT #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ #Queer
