trans-friendly
Affirming gender diversity
Trans-friendly describes people, places, policies, or organizations that are welcoming and supportive of transgender individuals.
A trans-friendly workplace has inclusive policies; a trans-friendly doctor treats patients with respect and competence regarding gender identity.
The term signals safety in contexts where discrimination remains common: Is this bar trans-friendly?
