​​Being an ally can be scary at times - transphobic people target not only trans people, but also those who protect them.

 

Being an ally does not mean giving up your safety, and it doesn’t mean prioritizing transgender peoples' rights more than cisgender peoples' rights.

 

It means doing whatever is in your power to help the individual feel safe and able to access your services, and fully participate in and benefit from them, regardless of their gender identity.

 

It means having zero tolerance to bullying and abuse, protecting victims, and promoting gender equality and trans rights in schools, workplaces, and society.

To be a Gender Positive Ally an organisation must be:

Inclusive 

Treat you with respect no matter your pronouns, gender expression, or how well you ‘pass’. 

​​

​

This means treating you as a human, deserving of kindness, and helping you feel comfortable.

Protective 

If you are being harassed or feel threatened, they will provide you a refuge until the danger passes. 

​​

​

This might mean turning bullies away at their door, or giving you a quiet room to wait out danger.

Safe 

Helping you feel comfortable, not judged, and welcome to participate without being defined by your gender. 

​

This might mean letting you be yourself and respecting how you express

your gender, and letting that change from day to day.

Affirmative 

They promote trans rights, and are proactive in encouraging authentic gender expression. 

​​

​

This might mean promoting gender equality, and making extra effort to show they mean what they promise. 

We aim to use gender inclusive language throughout this website. Please be patient if we get anything wrong - our team are people of diverse gender identities but we don't know everything! 

We created the GPA because we are very aware that life is becoming increasingly hostile for anyone who isn't cisgender, especially gender non-conforming, gender queer and transgender children. 

We want to make sure the safe places and the voices of allies in the community can be heard by those who most need to hear them. 

The GPA isn't an advocacy group right now, it is simply trying to help people in the gender diverse community finds places they can go and be treated with dignity and kindness.
