https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">, we — alongside our LGB and trans and non-binary network groups — are reiterating this message to make it clear we stand against all forms of transphobia, homophobia and biphobia (1/)
This #PrideMonth
If you’re trans or non-binary, lesbian, gay or bi, or you want to support a family member or someone you know who is, our online advice can help you understand your rights (2/)
If you’re the victim of a transphobic or homophobic hate incident or crime, you can find advice on what you can do about it on our website https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-courts/discrimination/hate-crime/sexual-orientation-and-transgender-identity-hate-crime/">https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-c...

If you’re treated unfairly because you’re a transgender person, this is called & #39;discrimination because of gender reassignment& #39;. Our advice can help http://citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-courts/discrimination/protected-characteristics/gender-reassignment-discrimination/">https://citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-c... (4/)
