Today is #WorldAIDSDay

On 1 December, we must give thanks to those who came before us. The progress we’ve made in the fight against HIV wouldn’t be possible without their contributions.

Here's our CEO @ianrgreen on remembering those we've lost and looking to the future👇

Upstairs at #LunarCafe there is currently a box for binder donations (please wash them first!). Anyone can come take one (please wash before wearing!).

If you need a binder and there isn't one that fits, there's also a fund starting up to buy more. (You can donate in Portal)

Trans Day of Remembrance is a day to reflect on the untimely deaths of trans people around the world.

Murder of trans people disproportionately impacts trans women & femmes of colour. Reflect on what you can do to learn more or bring about change.

To commemorate #transawarenessweek we want to bring awareness to other identities under the trans umbrella

This list is not exhaustive however and many more identities exist!

💙💗🤍💗💙

[YSJ LGBTQ+ @Yorksj_LGBTQ]

Everyone is different! There is no one way to feel in relation to an individual's identity, some people experience dysphoria and some people don't! It doesn't make a person any more or less trans if they do or don't
💙💗🤍💗💙

[YSJ LGBTQ+ @Yorksj_LGBTQ]

To continue with #transawarenessweek we want to spread information about terms some people might be unfamiliar with;

A brief description of Gender Dysphoria and Gender Euphoria

[YSJ LGBTQ+ @Yorksj_LGBTQ]

Gender Dysphoria and Gender Euphoria are two opposing feelings that a person may have in relation to their identity, dysphoria being negative and euphoria being positive

[YSJ LGBTQ+ @Yorksj_LGBTQ]

It is important to acknowledge that not all Trans people are the same and you can't make assumptions about a person's life! The best way you can be an ally is to listen to an individual and use the name and pronouns that they prefer! #TransAwarenessWeek
💙💗🤍💗💙 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

[YSJ LGBTQ+ @Yorksj_LGBTQ]

Transitioning is a often a large part of a person's journey with their identity, many people think that this requires hormones or surgery but this is not always the case! Some people do not want or are unable to do this and that's okay! It doesn't make a person more or less Trans

[YSJ LGBTQ+ @Yorksj_LGBTQ]

This #transawarenessweek we want to reaffirm our commitment to the Trans community and stand in solidarity with our siblings

All Trans people are valid and important members of the LGBTQ+ community 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ 💙💗🤍💗💙

[YSJ LGBTQ+ @Yorksj_LGBTQ]

To mark #transawarenessweek we have put together a small glossary of important terms to be aware of! This list is not exhaustive however and we will be going in depth on some of them later in the week 🏳️‍⚧️

[YSJ LGBTQ+ @Yorksj_LGBTQ]

Today marks the start of #transawarenessweek (13th-19th) a week where we stand in solidarity with our trans siblings across the UK and the world and spread awareness of the issues that may face the community 🏳️‍⚧️
