The first step is to “listen with an open mind to transgender people speaking for themselves,” according to GLAAD , along with following thought leaders in the transgender community, and exploring easy to access, like books, films, documentaries and blogs that include the voices of transgender people.
“Go where people in the LGBT community congregate, like your local Pride Parade, which is like the beginner’s guide to the queer universe,” says Oger. “If that’s a really foreign space for you, that’s okay. Go have a look. Pretend you’re a tourist visiting another country, just like when people go to participate in cultural events.”
There are many ways to define an ally, but all possess a want to learn, can address the barriers, and understand that support comes in many forms, according to.
Ultimately, says Oger: “Allyship is being in a place of love and empathy, and trying to look at the big picture and to look at how to make our surroundings a better place. It’s common decency, basic courtesy, humanity, and empathy.”
