Being seen for who you truly are isnât asking too much. Itâs everything.
In honor of Transgender Awareness Week, November 13-19, weâre holding space for the transgender community and recognizing that authenticity takes incredible courage, especially when the world doesnât always make it easy.
To our trans friends and clients: your identity is valid, your experiences matter, and you deserve support that truly sees you. Not tolerance. Not acceptance with conditions. Real, wholehearted support.
And to everyone else: allyship means showing up. It means using correct names and pronouns without making it a big production. It means educating yourself instead of expecting trans folks to do all the emotional labor. It means speaking up when you witness discrimination, even when itâs uncomfortable.
Mental health struggles hit harder when youâre constantly fighting to be recognized as yourself. Depression, anxiety, and trauma donât exist in a vacuum. Theyâre often deepened by a world that questions your right to simply exist as you are.
If youâre struggling, please know that affirming, informed therapy can make a real difference. You donât have to navigate this alone.
Whatâs one way youâre showing up as an ally this week? Drop it in the comments. Letâs learn from each other.
