Good sexual health is vital for everyone. Trans, non-binary and gender diverse people often find they are left out of mainstream information relating to health and wellbeing. This can leave us without any tools and relying on guesswork, and reading between the lines as to what is relevant for our health, our bodies and our identities.

THT have a fantastic new page on the website for sexual health and advice for Trans, non binary and gender diverse people.
