As we learned from #TransgenderDayOfVisibility, transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive people do not look a singular way! Gender identities do not have fixed expressions! Thank you for the reminder. Art by @ A_Silent_Child

Today is #TransgenderDayOfVisibility! What does visibility mean for our transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive youth? It can mean positive representation... but it can also include being vulnerable to unwanted attention or discrimination. At Gender & Family Project, we hope to define visibility as being not only seen, but respected, supported, celebrated, and accepted. And we are thankful for our families and communities for helping us bring that into the world, o...ne family at a time. Here is our #TDOV video from last year filled with tips on how YOU can support our community today and beyond #AcceptanceIsProtection #ProtectTransYouth #ProtectNonBinaryYouth #ProtectIntersexYouth #GFP

A huge win! Congratulations to interACT for pushing through the first ever government funded intersex education campaign in the country!
