Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility, but in the current political climate, trans kids and adults don’t need more visibility. What they need is more understanding. What they need is cisgender people taking an interest in their plight and learning about trans kids and adults — the legitimacy of trans identities, the science behind gender-affirming care, the extent of the attacks on trans kids’ rights to play sports, access healthcare, be respected at school, and more. Whether you’re new to this issue or a veteran parent of a trans kid yourself, there’s always more to learn. And learning more — and putting that knowledge to use through advocacy, or even just by standing up for your trans friends and family — can literally save lives.
