🏳️⚧️ TRANS PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE. 🏳️⚧️
As Transgender Awareness Week is drawing to and end, please take this opportunity to educate yourselves and stand up for the community!
⋒ You can’t see gender. Please reflect on your own perceptions of gender—it’s easy to not gender people based on their appearance!
⋒ Trans people are among the most discriminated people, particularly if they are BIPoC.
⋒ All around the world, trans people experience discrimination for something as human as using a bathroom. Using the bathroom is even more complicated for non-binary and genderqueer people: the majority of bathrooms is still gendered.
⋒ Trans and non-binary youth are more likely to be harassed and bullied, resulting in a higher risk for substance abuse and mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, suicide attempts, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Depending on their experiences in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, 50% of trans people have attempted suicide at least once in their lives.
⋒ In many countries, trans people are imprisoned and/or killed—simply for being trans. Yet, states do not consider being trans as grounds for asylum.
Trans people are people. And we hope that one day, people will just be people.
