Trans Youth Day â Celebrating Courage, Building Hope
Today, on Trans Youth Day, we honor the courage, creativity, and resilience of transgender and nonbinary young people â and reaffirm our commitment to stand beside them in every step of their journey.
In todayâs polarized world, trans youth face growing challenges. Across the country, laws and rhetoric continue to threaten their right to exist, learn, and receive affirming care. According to The Trevor Projectâs 2024 National Survey, nearly 50% of transgender and nonbinary youth seriously considered su***de in the past year â not because of who they are, but because of the rejection, discrimination, and hostility they endure.
Yet despite this, trans youth continue to show extraordinary strength. They are artists, students, leaders, and dreamers â living examples of authenticity and hope in the face of adversity.
As trans advocate Jazz Jennings said, âIâve learned that being yourself is the most important thing you can do. Donât let anyone take that away from you.â
