Straight For Equality: Intent vs. Impact

You don’t need to know everything before you can take action as an ally to people who are trans, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming—and your work doesn’t stop when you feel like you’ve reached Super-Ally status. Consider incorporating these suggestions to build your ally skills and create a lasting difference.

• Ask questions. Be respectful, appropriate, and remember that “no” is a complete sentence.
• Do your homework. There are organizations, resources, and tools that you can use to educate yourself and others. Visit straightforequality.org/trans to get started.
• Vocalize inclusion. Add your personal pronouns to verbal introductions, email signatures, professional bios, name tags, etc.

Discover even more ways to up your trans and nonbinary allyship by visiting our Straight for Equality website.
