| In honor of Women’s History Month and Transgender Day of Visibility, GLAAD is sending a message that we stand with transgender and non-binary people. Will you join us and co-sign our open letter? Currently, less than half of U.S. states have laws that protect transgender people from discrimination. And so far this year, state lawmakers have introduced dozens of state bills that would restrict the rights of transgender people, especially trans women and girls, in education, healthcare, and sports. Just this week, the Arkansas Senate passed a bill banning access to healthcare for trans youth. At GLAAD, we know that transgender women are women and that transgender girls are girls. We believe that honoring the diversity of women’s experiences is a strength of society. All of us deserve the same access, freedoms, and opportunities, and we must respect each person’s right to bodily autonomy and self-determination. Please add your name and pledge to stand up for transgender women and girls, as well as all trans and non-binary people. By co-signing our open letter, you will be joining nearly 500 prominent leaders and organizations that have signed on, including The Trevor Project, Time's Up, Me Too, Women's March, Planned Parenthood, and celebrities such as Gabrielle Union, Halle Berry, Laverne Cox, Miss Peppermint, and more. As Audre Lorde once said, “I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.” Co-sign our open letter today in honor of Transgender Day of Visibility and send an unequivocal message of support and inclusion to our transgender sisters, and all trans and non-binary people everywhere. |
