August 30: Stand With LGBTQIA+ Youth on Wear It Purple® Day! Get Involved

1. Listen to Trans Voices

Listen with an open mind and heart to the experiences of trans and non-binary people through online education or professional development and training.

2. Respect Privacy

Always ensure you have permission before you share anyone’s identity. Keep questions appropriate - don’t ask trans people about their bodies, surgical status or sex lives.   

3. Be Visible

Create visibility by sharing posters and social media content that signal trans inclusion. You can also get involved in events that advocate for trans and non-binary people.

4. Share Your Pronouns

Displaying your pronouns shows others you’ll respect theirs too. Try wearing your pronouns as a badge, or include them wherever your name is published - like your email signature. 

5. Practice Inclusion

Stand up for trans people when others don’t respect them. Gently correct those who use the wrong name or pronouns, even if the person they’re talking about isn’t around.

6. Use Your Voice

Think of ways you can apply trans inclusion at home and at work. Don’t wait for someone to come out to you as trans or non-binary - get started today! 🏳️‍⚧️
