March 31, 2022, is the International Transgender Day of Visibility. This is a time to celebrate trans men, women, and the nonbinary folks in between – recognizing that these individuals represent a true testament of resilience.
If you have a loved one that is transgender or nonbinary and you are wondering how you can be supportive, there are many things you can do.
👉 If someone talked to you about their gender identity or sexuality, please do not share this information with others without the consent of the person who shared this important information with you. When someone makes a disclosure, you may be thinking it would be a good idea to inform your family and friends so that they can begin to use the correct pronouns, for example. Please don’t share somebody’s story for them.
👉 Be accountable. Don’t dismiss another person’s experience, justify your behavior, or defend your intentions. Intention is not the same as impact. The best apology is one that doesn’t make excuses.
👉 Check in on your Trans friends – you don’t need to be obvious, but see how they are doing.
