TransActual

It's international Asexuality Day and we're sending love to all of our asexual team members, community members and supporters.

There's a really useful simple guide to what asexuality is (and isn't) at https://www.lgbthealth.org.uk/asexuality where you can learn more.

Happy International Non-Binary People's day to all of our non-binary siblings around the world.

Today marks the end of the 40-day Parliamentary stage of the EHRC’s draft Code of Practice, with the government refusing a debate or vote. It is now due to pass automatically, despite widespread opposition.

"The intersections between being a trans & autistic person couldn’t be clearer. My experience was trenchantly invalidated because under the cisgender and neurotypical gaze, we are drained of any agency, autonomy or say in who we are." Fey

How are transgender parents currently registered on their children’s birth certificates in the UK?

We are supporting the TransReg study, conducted by researchers at the University of Zurich and KU Leuven, to gather anonymous data on the birth registration process for trans parents.

The goal is to highlight injustices and provide the evidence needed to push for legal reform and policy changes that actually protect our families.

Too many people lack awareness of asexuality and the experiences of asexual people, that can make it hard to be out.

"Even though I'm out as trans, being asexual often feels more difficult to talk about. Not many people know about asexuality if they aren't active in LGBTQ+ spaces." Charlie

Happy Easter if you’re celebrating today!

A researcher from the University of Essex is recruiting trans speakers of any language, but particularly speakers of Italian, Arabic, Slavic languages, Celtic languages, Native/Indigenous languages of the Americas and Australasia, African languages
