Here's an interesting resource!
Get Educated, in the #LGBTQIA Resource Center of UC Davis. Among other things, it has a glossary, and a page on How to be an Ally.
I'm cisgender ("straight"), and in my mid-50s. As such, it can be difficult to keep up with the developing terminology, etiquette, etc. of our #LGBTQ friends.
For anyone who wants to be an ally, it's important to educate ourselves. Forget what you think you know, because you don't. 😉
Thank you for this. @p3R1n01D

My pleasure! I figured if I'm looking for answers, so are a lot of other people.
I do spend a fair amount of time helping folks’ psychoeducation & normalizing their understandings. It’s gratifying to see eyes & hearts open.
So TYVM for the opportunity to dialogue.
As I maintain, we are all a part of our great human family. The more heart connected we are, the better. 💜
@ATXJane @p3R1n01D When I ran a support group in the early 90s, the majority of our meetings were divided into two groups: Educating the trans person and Providing ways for them to educate others.
It-is- gratifying to see eyes and hearts open. And to also know that, in turn, can open the hearts, minds, and eyes of others.
