Celebrating International Pronouns Day! 🌟 Today is an important reminder of the significance of pronouns in affirming everyone's identities. Respecting each other's pronouns is not only an act of basic human decency, but it also plays a crucial role in fostering a more inclusive and accepting world. Language has immense power, shaping our identities, connections, and experiences. By embracing and normalizing the practice of using correct pronouns, we contribute to dismantling harmful gender stereotypes, cisnormativity, and transphobia. Through proactively asking, listening, and using the correct pronouns, we create safe spaces where everyone can feel seen, heard, and respected. 🤝 #InternationalPronounsDay #Inclusivity #LGBTQ

For Latinx Heritage Month, we’re passing the mic to our friends at TransLatin@ Coalition! 💃🏽🏳️⚧️🎤 This inspiring trans-led organization works tirelessly to uplift and empower trans-Latinx people, embracing the powerful intersection of being transgender, LGBTQ+, and Latinx.

DHS, challenging policies that harm LGBTQ+ asylum seekers, and Whitman-Walker Clinic v. HHS, defending access to health care for trans and gender nonconforming people. 🌈✨As part of our Speak OUT campaign, join us in celebrating and supporting the impactful work of this incredible organization.
