Be True 2 Me empowering Transgender, Gender Diverse People and their connected people
Be True 2 Me is a trans-led organisation. We provide a unified point of contact for Transgender & Gender Diverse individuals, and those interacting with, working with, educating, employing or caretaking Transgender & Gender Diverse people. The organisation networks professional providers with members of the community (we work with all trans-friendly providers, without giving preference). One of our key activities is providing a support network via Support Groups, information sharing events, community building and online support. We operate support networks in multiple areas across South Africa. Be True 2 Me seeks to give a specific voice to transgender people. We focus on issues affecting the trans community, while maintaining close working relationships with organisations that address broader LGBTIQA+ issues. Be True 2 Me also engages in advocacy, and interacts with government departments, such as the Department of Basic Education.

“Being trans is often a very isolated existence. So being part of the Be True 2 Me support group has been a very empowering experience for me. I have been able to connect with other people who have similar experiences to mine, and learn from their journeys. In isolation, we are fragile and we can break. Together, we are resilient; we can speak out, and make our voices heard.”
