We stand in solidarity with our Trans fam.On July 19, 2019, the Lok Sabha heard the introduction of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2019.
There are endless ways that transphobia can show up and we need to be aware about it, including:
i) Continue to use incorrect pronouns- Some people use pronouns other than she/her or he/him, like they/them, ze/hir, or xe/xim.
ii) Using a transgender person's "deadname."- A deadname is the name a trans person was given at birth. This name usually matches the gender they were assigned at that time.
iii) Bullying- Studies show that 43% of transgender students have been bullied while on school property, compared to only 18% of cisgender youth. 29% of transgender students have been threatened with a weapon at school, compared with only 7% of cisgender students.
