In light of what’s happening, we want to be crystal clear.
Trans rights are human rights.
Trans people lose loved ones, just as cis* people do. (Cis people are those who identify with the gender they were assigned at birth.)
Trans, non-binary, intersex and gender diverse young grievers are – and always will be – a part of the Let’s Talk About Loss community, including volunteering as our Hosts.
Our meet up Hosts across the UK have awareness of and guidance on issues affecting young grievers in marginalised groups, including trans young grievers.
Our Hosts are brilliant and empathetic young grievers who aim to foster inclusivity, consider the needs of different grievers, normalise talking about pronouns, check in with their own feelings, and support each other across identities and backgrounds.
They always aim to create an atmosphere where people feel safe and valid to attend in their identity.
If you’re nervous to attend a meet up, or you have questions, you can email Hosts in advance.
And just to let you know…
We know that trans solidarity online can attract transphobia. We’ll make sure to delete and report abuse on our social media channels.
Because trans, non-binary, intersex and gender diverse young grievers will always be welcome at Let’s Talk About Loss.
If you need support, the following organisations support trans people:
