Last week was Transgender Awareness Week (13-19th) and this past Saturday marked the Transgender Day of Remembrance (20th). GLAAD describes these commemorations as “a week when transgender people and their allies take action to bring attention to the community by educating the public about who transgender people are, sharing stories and experiences, and advancing advocacy around the issues of prejudice, discrimination, and violence that affect the transgender community.”

We hope that you will join us in continuing to support and advocate for transgender people by listening to what the community has to share-- ideas like holding space for trans joy, or dealing with the pain on the heels of the most anti-LGBTQ legislative session in history; including an array of bills targeting trans youth in sports.
