Transgender Awareness Week 2023 (Gallery)

Throughout Transgender Awareness Week, we shared with you our ‘trans people are people too’ photography project. See the gallery below:

‘me being trans means that I can live as the person I should have been. We are not hurting any one, we just want to live in peace’
“Fire doesn’t discriminate, neither do we”
‘speak to the right people, talk to someone, it helps you stop being angry and sad. Once you know who you are, talk to your family, or a worker like Andy, it’s a good start to get some support’
‘I’m the scary transgender person that they warned you about. I go out with my friends, I buy clothes in any section of the shop, I buy food in the places you shop. I exist, like you exist. Am I still scary to you now that I’m a person like you?’
‘we belong’
‘I have known a trans person for 14 years and she’s loving and caring and one of the friendliest people in the world’
‘For me, being ‘trans’ is a little bit scary, a bit confusing, sometimes makes me sad. BUT…
Finally starting to understand who I am and embracing that, and making friends who see me for me? IT’S AMAZING’
‘Transgender people are my friends. We are all part of one community, LGBTQ+. We look out for each other’
‘Everyone’s trans in their own way, and that’s okay’
‘Be kind, be trans kind.
As a trans ally for many years, I fear for trans and non-binary people’s safety and well-being.
We are living in a climate of misinformation, fear and hate. Trans peoples rights to be human beings are being eroded. Little by little their thoughts and feelings are being dismissed as a phase or a fashion.
Being trans is not a lifestyle choice, it’s a sense of self’
‘Trans people deserve to live happy lives and to be treated with kindness and dignity’
‘We’re stronger together. Kindness and community are so important’
‘Be yourself, love yourself and don’t live another persons life’
‘Our community is one, and together we support transgender awareness week’
