TransActual are working towards a world where trans people can live safely, in dignity and with access to the healthcare that we need. We’re a national, trans led and run organisation focussed specifically on working for trans adults in the UK. Our work is broad ranging, but we have a particular focus on healthcare and trans people’s legal protections. We also seek to raise trans people’s voices and raise awareness of trans people’s lived experiences.
TransActual UK was founded by a group of British trans people in 2017 as a response to increasing press hostility, transphobia and misinformation. We are a Community Interest Company (CIC) run by the trans community, with the trans community, for the trans community.
TransActual:
- share reliable information about trans people's lives and about trans rights in the UK, as well as dispelling common myths
- amplify the voices of trans people so that the wider world may hear the experiences of a wide range of trans men, trans women and non-binary people
- educate people about trans people's lives and the issues we face
- advocate for trans people
- empower trans people to make bring about change in their lives and in the community
We're fundraising so that we can:
- conduct research around non-binary people's hopes for legal recognition
- pay trans people, especially trans BPOC and disabled trans people, to write for us
- deliver workshops to community groups
- talk to policy makers about trans people's needs
- research and report on trans people's lived experiences
- cover our running costs
