We recognize and celebrate the strength, resilience, and authenticity of trans and non-binary individuals. Today we uplift trans voices, honor their journeys, and reaffirm our commitment to providing a safe, affirming space for all.

While visibility is important, we also acknowledge the challenges many trans people face, including discrimination, mental health disparities, and barriers to affirming care. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and supported in their authenticity.

Let’s continue to foster a world where trans and non-binary individuals not only exist but thrive. 💙💖🤍
