We further wish to increase acknowledgement and acceptance by the wider community for trans people. We also strive to:· * provide knowledge which informs and enables decision making.· * challenge discrimination wherever it exists.· * encourage good practice. · * provide a forum where organisations of the trans community can meet. · * endeavour to dismantle the myths and prejudices surrounding trans people.
