What it Means to be Transgender

Autistic people are more likely than the general population to identify as trans or gender diverse, yet they often face additional misunderstanding, judgement and barriers to support.

Raising awareness of trans issues is an important part of making our charity a place where everyone feels understood and respected. 

This easy-read guide from Change, Achieve Together and Choice Support explains what it means to be trans and offers practical advice for people who may identify as transgender.

What makes us different, makes us Leeds

Discrimination happens when people are treated badly or unfairly because of who they are. This can include teasing, name-calling, using stereotypes, unfair rules based on someone’s protected characteristics, or leaving people out.

Leeds City Council have information and resources available for people facing discrimination and prejudice, and for those of us who wish to promote diversity and community cohesion as part of their "What makes us different, makes us Leeds" campaign.
