Providing an accessible and authoritative introduction to issues around People of Colour (POC) trans inclusion, this book uses case studies, tips, checklists and anonymous survey results to set out best practice for any professionals working with trans people to create safer spaces, support and awareness.

Trans people of colour are often excluded because gender and race are treated as separate issues. They are therefore left out from movements and services and in trans and non-binary spaces, their POC identities are overlooked. Choudreys guide introduces the theory of intersectionality from the start, giving practical tips and steps to ensure that the community as a whole may be represented and creates a safer space for trans people of colour to thrive.

An empowering and self-preserving tool, Supporting Trans People of Colour is an invaluable resource for therapists, counsellors, healthcare professionals, and those working in education and charities, as well as those wanting to make their approach and service more inclusive.

Sabah Choudrey is a proud transgender Muslim, reluctant activist and community organiser who has featured on The Independents influential Rainbow List. They are co-founder of Colours Youth Network and a trans youth worker with Gendered Intelligence and have created and delivered training courses on inclusion and privilege, focusing on queer and trans communities of colour. Sabah lives and works in London.
