In this section you can find out about the experiences of trans and gender diverse young people by seeing and hearing them share their personal stories on film, audio and in text. We have talked to 50 trans and gender diverse people in England, Wales and Scotland both in their homes and online.
Find out what people said about coming out as trans and changing names, pronouns and appearance, their experiences with GPs, mental health and support, school and college, being referred to gender identity service and experiences with the service, hormones, surgery, sexuality and sexual health, where they looked for information about gender diversity and trans-specific healthcare and what they think would improve services.
