This year's is different, any trans person could tell you that. There is more visibility than ever, but there are more anti-LGBTQ+ laws than ever before; 400 so far in 2023, more than double last year. is a time when we celebrate and honor the resilience, strength, and beauty of transgender and non-binary individuals. It is also a day to raise awareness about the issues that trans and non-binary people face, including discrimination, harassment, and violence.
The fight for transgender rights is far from over. Trans and non-binary Michiganders still face significant barriers to living their lives authentically and without fear of discrimination or violence. They are more likely to experience homelessness, unemployment, and poverty than their cisgender counterparts. They also face significant barriers when it comes to accessing healthcare, education, and other essential services.
Today we celebrate the beauty of trans people, grieve those who are no longer with us, and continue fighting to create a world where we can enjoy all parts of our humanity. Please consider supporting our work so we can help provide services to those who need it most: https://equalitymi.org/donate/
