The transgender community is not a monolith, nor is it a "trend." It is a group of people who have always existed across every culture and era. Within LGBTQ+ culture, trans individuals are both foundational and often the first to be attacked. True queer liberation cannot be achieved without the full equality, safety, and celebration of trans lives. By learning, listening, and standing up against transphobia—both inside and outside the LGBTQ+ umbrella—we honor the legacy of Marsha P. Johnson and build a future where all genders can thrive.
