We seek a future where trans youth don’t feel helpless and have access to the resources that will allow them to live healthy and happy lives.

To establish a hub of information, advice, support, and community for trans youth in Devon.

The history of the trans community proves that community is the key to our survival. Every strand of our work at Transilience comes back to strengthening our local trans community, as only by supporting one another can we build our collective resilience.

A key priority of ours is acting with pride. To us, pride means refusing to accept injustice against our community or any other, and a collective commitment to doing our part to create change.

Too much of trans experience, particularly for trans young people, is defined by a lack of agency. At Transilience, trans youth are leaders, celebrated for who they are, and supported to create the change they want to see.
