RIGHTS WORTH FIGHTING FOR
People in the transgender community are brave to show the world who they are. Despite the criticism they may receive, they actively fight to be treated equally and to be seen as the gender they identify with. Many members of the transgender community have experienced discrimination, sexual harassment, physical abuse, and have battled mental illness. The goal of this website is to raise awareness about issues that the transgender community faces. The fight for rights will not be easy, but it's a fight that needs to be won. We ask that you help us advocate so that transgender people can live a life without fear and ridicule!
SUPPORT TRANSGENDER PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE
Remember that there is no "one way" to be a good ally, but one of the simplest ways is to educate yourself about the trans community. Some people haven't heard much about transgender identity or don't understand what it means to be transgender. This is why it's important to have conversations with the trans people in your life, as well as seek out resources to learn more information. Learning to become an ally is a long journey, but we'd like to help you take the first steps.
