In this episode of Transvox, hosts Gillian and Jenny dive into practical ways to advocate for and support the trans community. They have collected into one place a blog of thoughts about how you can feel better by ‘making a difference’ - however small…this podcast references that blog at transvox.co.uk/blogs

They discuss the significance of self-education, amplifying trans voices, engaging in political action, and creating inclusive communities.

The conversation also highlights the importance of challenging misinformation, participating in protests, and leveraging platforms for greater impact.

They emphasize solidarity, especially in times of heightened discrimination, and provide actionable steps for both trans individuals and allies to make meaningful contributions.
