Hi everyone! This is Cara from Gendered Intelligence (@genderintel)- we're taking over Jo's account today on #TDOV2021! We'll be posting some things about trans people in the UK and what you can do to help! (GI)

Gendered Intelligence is the biggest trans-led organisation working across the UK. Since 2008 we’ve supported trans people (particularly trans youth) across all parts of their life. Our main aim is to increase understandings of gender diversity & visibility of trans people! (GI)

We are a trans-led and trans-involving grassroots organisation with a wealth of lived experience, community connections of many kinds, and a depth and breadth of trans community knowledge that is second to none. We believe everyone can be intelligent about gender! @Genderintell

Our work is across four main ‘areas of service’ – Public Engagement (my bit and so my personal fave!), Professional & Educational Services, Work in Education, and Trans Youth & Communities. We also do special projects and run support lines. genderedintelligence.co.uk (GI)

We’ve trained over 20,000 people with our Trans Awareness training. Everything we do is about meeting people where they are and looking to improve outcomes for trans people wherever they may be, be that in huge organisations or in schools. genderedintelligence.co.uk/professionals/… (GI)

We want to help build a world where trans young people can thrive in schools and aren’t discriminated against or bullied for who they are. This remains a real problem, including up to university level where too many people are put under great stress because of transphobia. (GI)

The sense of community and belonging our youth groups can instil in young people is something to behold. A place where they can just be themselves without fear of judgement and just hang out with their friends. The groups are online now but will be back IRL soon! ❤️❤️(GI) #TDOV

In recent years, we’ve started campaigning for policy changes to help improve trans people’s lives. Working with others to build a better future, we will help ensure no one’s left behind as we move closer towards trans equality! genderedintelligence.co.uk/ourcampaigns #TDOV2021 (GI)
