Trans+ History Week is a powerful reminder that transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive folks have always been leaders, innovators, and changemakers — even when history books left them out. At The Trevor Project, we honor these legacies by uplifting the stories that deserve to be known and celebrated.

Trailblazers Who Changed the World

This week, we’re spotlighting trans trailblazers who have paved the way for generations to come. From activists who shaped pivotal moments in LGBTQ+ rights to artists who redefined culture, their contributions are a vital part of our shared history.

Trans Women Have Always Made History

As we recognize Trans+ History Week and beyond, it’s important to remember: Women's history is trans history. Trans women have fought — and continue to fight — for justice, equity, and visibility. Their stories belong in every celebration of women's contributions to the world.

At Trevor, we believe that every trans young person deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered. If you or someone you know needs a reminder that you are not alone, we offer resources designed to affirm and uplift:

Trans+ history isn’t just something we reflect on — it’s something we honor by building a future where every young person can thrive.

Support from individuals like you enables The Trevor Project to continue our work to end LGBTQ+ youth suicide through our crisis services as well as the development of resources and guides like these to promote education and allyship.
