MAKE NO ASSUMPTIONS is a campaign run by CUSU LGBT+ to increase awareness of gender and transgender issues and the little things people can do to make life easier for the trans people around them.
Whenever we meet a new person, we subject them to our preconceptions about who they are - including about their gender. However if those preconceptions don't include an understanding of gender as something more complex that what is assigned at birth, it can make things really difficult for trans people. While most people mean well, lots of little misunderstandings can add up to become very wearing and disheartening.
If you're new to all these concepts - don't panic! Like our page for updates, come along to events to find out more, and take a look at our campaign website: http://www.makenoassumptions.org.uk/
