Are you...

A Boy?A Girl?

or somewhere in between?

How do you know?

• “Because I just know”• “I just am”• “Because I have breasts”• “Because…”

How would you feel if people around you disagreed?

• Told you how you felt inside was wrong?• What would you do? How would you live?• Should anyone have the right to tell any of

us how to feel?

Many people see gender as a spectrum

• And that it’s the labels which place us at opposite ends

Where are you?

Trans people:

• Are ordinary people who don’t feel 100% like the gender they were labelled with at birth

• They, like everyone else, are somewhere on the spectrum

• Sometimes they feel like they’re at the opposite end• Sometimes they feel like they’re somewhere in

between • There is no one way of describing a trans person’s

experience
