“This year, we’re honoring the legacy of Black Fashion and its profound impact on LGBTQ+ culture and the Kiki Scene. 🌈💕

Drawing inspiration from the Met Exhibit Superfine, we’re exploring how fashion reaffirms our identity and serves as a powerful tool to protest gender norms and systemic bias. We recognize that today’s style was built on the foundation laid by Black and Black LGBTQ+ trailblazers.

🏁Join us for: Beginner-friendly categories, community resources, great food, and good vibes!
🏁Bring: Your creativity, your curiosity, and your best look.”

Today is , a national movement to call attention to the silencing and harassment of LGBTQ students 💜

Transgender youth are nearly 4 times more likely than cisgender youth to experience bullying and a little over 3 times more likely to miss school due to safety concerns (J. K., Perez-Brumer, A., & Russell, S. T., Journal of Youth and Adolescence.)

The growing legislative attacks on transgender and non-binary kids - threatening their safety in bathrooms, lockers, and sports - increases the sense of hostility and danger for our young people.

Just one affirming adult in a young, trans or gender expansive person’s life can decrease their risk of su***de by 40% (Trevor Project). You may not yet have the tools to understand your child but we are here to help. Accepting and affirming your child is not just kind, but life-saving.

Created in 2009 by trans advocate Rachel Crandall, was designed to celebrate and uplift transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive folks 🩷

However, amid increasingly aggressive and exhausting anti-transgender legislation and rhetoric, the idea of “visibility” can bring up conflicting feelings. Is visibility safe? Is it a choice? How do we protect our most vulnerable community members?

Every feeling - be it fear, determination, anger, joy, or confusion - is valid. Processing our feelings with trusted community members and allies is important in caring for our mental wellness so that we can continue to show up for our transgender and gender expansive loved ones, neighbors, and youth. And if you are seeking additional support, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at gfp@ackerman.org or learn more at www.genderandfamilyproject.org .

However you wish to celebrate today, you are seen. We wish everyone a safe, affirming Transgender Day Of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️
