It was really enlightening to think about what it means to actively be an ally, like adopting policies and actions that are truly trans friendly, rather than just not being anti-trans.

Ashley and Jesse were amazing training instructors! As a trans individual having this training being led by two trans individuals who made their training so informative about the full spectrum of trans identities, pronouns and experiences made me feel seen. They both made ensured we were all in a safe space to ask questions and open the dialogue for deeper understanding. I thoroughly appreciate TransSocial for making sure we were well taken care of when it came to helping everyone understand how to handle different scenarios when engaging with o/ur trans identifying members of the LGBTQIA+ community. It was very productive, inclusive and engaging.

I would like to express my profound gratitude for the comprehensive and insightful presentation delivered in the recent training session on TranSocial awareness. The training effectively highlighted the critical impact of proper pronoun usageand inclusive practices on the quality of care provided to transgender patients. As a Client Engagement Coordinator at PreventionX, I found the session incredibly beneficial for enhancing our approach to TLGBQ+ care. The principles discussed are invaluable in fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for all patients.

Thank you for raising awareness. I always felt the trans community was marginalized, but adding statistical data bridged the gaps has helped increase awareness.
