These professionals are keen to make their services and workplaces welcoming for all trans people. And guess what? It isn't an issue - it's no where near the biggest issue they face in their everyday work.

We have a once in a generation opportunity to make sure legal gender recognition becomes a straightforward and inclusive process for all trans people.
It's vital that all trans people and allies take part in the government's consultation on the Gender Recognition Act. We need to tell the government how the current process disadvantages many trans people, and totally excludes young people under the age of 18 and non-binary people.

Thank you! You raised over £10,000 for this year's trans youth camps and we're still going. Here's a message from our camping lead Finn.

For every share, for every pound - YOU DID IT. Thank you from everyone at Gendered Intelligence for raising a staggering £10,000 for our transgender youth summer camp 🏕🌿🦄. What a journey indeed ❤️.

The Transawareness training was excellent, informative & interactive and I learnt lots. The pace was good. What I learnt today is a vital part of my professional development so thank you Simon.

Thankyou to the gi team for supporting me; I always look forward to the groups!!!

Inspiring, Challenging and Empowering an excellent training session with the perfect mix of professional and personal. Thank you Finn

I love this organization they worked with City, University of London on our Trans inclusive policy which is brilliant and they are going through the process of training people at City to be more aware of trans, Intersex and gender non-conformity in our society. They are wonderful to work with and really supportive too

I just love these people.

They are all walking angels ���

Having spoken to several people who have participated, the annual camping trips offer a lifeline for some young people who have never known a safe, supportive space. It allows them to breathe and to gather their strength to face the next 51 weeks of the year, but with new found on-going support from the staff, volunteers and other young people within GI.

Gendered Intelligence are an amazing organisation which makes a real difference to people's lives.Thanks to them for all their hard work.
