Supporting the transgender and LGBTQ community involves active allyship and respect:
The process of changing one's gender expression or body to align with their gender identity. This is highly personal and can be social, legal, or medical.
Take the initiative to learn about LGBTQ history and current issues.
Avoid derogatory slurs or "homosexual" as a noun, which is often considered pathologizing.
