Grants can also be used towards travel to medical or therapy/counselling appointments, but we are not able to provide funding for treatment or other medical procedures.
The Students’ Union recognises that widespread transphobia and cisgenderism can lead to feelings of distress among trans and gender-diverse students.
We also acknowledge that expressing and embodying your gender in ways that feel good can be financially challenging, especially in light of the present cost of living.
We’ve created the Gender Expression Fund in the hope of reducing financial barriers to gender affirmation and improving the wellbeing of our students.
LSE:
We have created the Gender Expression Fund to alleviate financial strains for trans, non-binary, intersex, and any gender non-conforming students to break down some of the barriers they face in their daily lives. While the fund cannot assist with medical or legal costs, we hope this financial assistance can contribute to students’ wellbeing and make resources for gender expression more accessible.
A little cash to help these poor gender-distressed individuals to buy their second-hand bras from the local charity shops. How lovely.
