I'm a trainee clinical psychologist and as part of my thesis I hope to explore the coming out experience of young adults (18-25) from ethnic minority backgrounds to their families and communities of origin while they were minors.

Participants will receive £10 for their involvement.

To take part or for more information email me at js1461@canterbury.ac.uk

We'd recommend taking a look at this report 'Gender, Care, & Equity': https://www.urbanhealthcouncil.com/reports-playbooks/gender-care-equity

"Gender is an important factor to consider when it comes to planning kind and robust healthcare...We must also consider Trans People: how can we better understand their organ function in the context of the gendered experiences of being both trans and expected to fulfil a role of “man” or “woman”?"

Leaked snippets from the trans schools guidance suggests it's not just the Equality Act the government does not understand. They do not understand the most basic bits of the law about names.

Legal opinion is pretty clear: "in general, children of any age can make their own decision about the change of [...] name."

If anyone tells you otherwise, show them this:

Help Ambz: trans person facing homelessness. Donate if you can, share if you can't: https://gofund.me/1ed08a26

'Despite holding a high paying job in the technical field of product and UX design, and paying thousands upon thousands in tax during this time, the system has left Ambz behind following their redundancy. All the savings they had raised for life-saving gender affirmation surgery have been demolished, and they are now unable to pay their expenses.'
