This introductory educational resource from The Trevor Project covers topics and best practices on how to support transgender and nonbinary young people.

It can be tough for transgender and nonbinary people to bear the burden of educating others about their lived experience. The Trevor Project’s Guide to Being an Ally to Transgender and Nonbinary Young People is an introductory educational resource that covers a wide range of topics and best practices on how to support transgender and nonbinary people.

The guide includes:

  • The difference between sex and gender
  • Basics of gender — identity, expression, and perception
  • Forms of address that show respect (names, pronouns, honorifics)
  • Helpful tips to increase understanding
  • Common mistakes and what to do if you’ve made one
