Trans Day of Visibility: Statement of solidarity

 

We stand in solidarity with trans people today – on Trans Day of Visibility – and every day.

We are deeply troubled by the recent escalation of anti-trans and far-right rhetoric and violence. We believe in building a society that is fair, just, and inclusive. This is only possible if we take a collective stand against hate and discrimination.
