News and articles
This page gathers news from the Gender Matters team and articles on the subjects that matter to the people we support. Our aim is to share accurate information in plain language, so that readers can make informed decisions about their own lives or the lives of people they care about.
Articles here are written for trans people, for those questioning their gender identity, for families and allies, and for professionals working alongside them.
