Hi John,
On Trans Day of Remembrance, founded in 1999, we honor those shining lights lost too soon to anti-trans violence.
Trans youth deserve to become thriving trans adults.
Because anti-trans rhetoric and hate has been so particularly egregious in 2024, we asked our It Gets Better community what they feel is most important for trans youth to remember, right here and right now.
Their words, as I'm sure you'll see, are nothing short of remarkable.
🏳️⚧️ "70 million people voted to protect your rights. You are valued. You are loved. Do not give up." -thethestralsociety
🏳️⚧️ "We have always been here, and we're not going anywhere anytime soon." -beansonofficial
🏳️⚧️ "You're seen. You're human. You are loved. You are not alone. Do not give up hope. You deserve all the best things in life and you should get to live them without fear, hate, guilt, harm, or silence." - destiny_d_melton

It Gets Better will continue to fight for a world where all LGBTQ+ youth are free to live equally, connect to their communities, and know their power as individuals.
With tremendous love and support for our trans family,
It Gets Better
