Reaffirming our commitment to the Trans community

Given the recent news cycle and developments within the Government concerning Trans inclusion, the ban on conversion therapy, and the cancellation of the first ever LGBT+ Conference, we feel we need to reaffirm some things. 

Firstly, we were proud to join over 100 other organisations last week in confirming that we would not support the Safe To Be Me conference. The LGBTQ+ community has fought for years against archaic, damaging laws that have impacted different parts of our community, so we understand the need to now step-up and vocally support the Trans community.

Secondly, and most importantly, at Tonic, we have always been, and always will be, Trans inclusive. That means every part of our business and offering. We are fiercely committed to ensure that all older LGBTQ+ people have somewhere to live their lives out, and reject transphobia in all its forms. Trans people deserve respect, care and equal treatment just like every other person in our society, be that in law, healthcare or housing, and we will continue our work to ensure that we can provide safe and affirming spaces for our community. There is no LGB without the T.
