Republican-controlled state legislatures have passed measures ranging from bills banning transgender girls from participating in girls’ sports to legislation prohibiting gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors. These dehumanizing attacks have rolled back decades advancements for trans rights.
Trans-led groups will continue to fight until there are ensured rights and protections for the most marginalized communities. Now more than ever, cisgender allies and co-conspirators must show up in solidarity with trans communities.
Each of the organizations listed below works for the rights, safety, and dignity of trans people. Please chip in to help them organize, build, and resist.
