Queens Heath Pride has collated this information to support and signpost trans people in Birmingham who are transitioning or exploring transition.
Trans people across the UK are facing increasingly hostile socio-political, legislative, and bureaucratic environments. We want to ensure that everyone in the Birmingham area has access to clear, understandable, and reliable information to support their decision making.
The resources listed here predominantly come from queer and trans-led initiatives. We must resist the criminalisation and restriction of access to medication.
If you have additional resources share them with us below.
