Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. We mourn transgender lives that have been lost, even as we celebrate the resistance and resilience of the trans and nonbinary communities who continue to build the lives and futures they deserve. At Planned Parenthood, we are committed to making our country a place where no one faces discrimination or violence because of their gender identity or expression.

Transgender people are our patients, our supporters, and our staff. We know firsthand that people of all gender identities and expressions deserve civil and human rights, including the right to high-quality, affordable health care and accurate, compassionate sex education and information.

Today, please join us in remembering and celebrating the lives and experiences of transgender people.

Planned Parenthood

Transgender rights are human rights. Transgender rights are non-negotiable. Transgender patients always have, and will always be welcome at Planned Parenthood health centers.

None of this is new. But this Transgender Awareness Week, we wanted to say it especially loudly and clearly: Planned Parenthood is proud to stand in solidarity with transgender communities every day.

We believe that LGBTQ+ rights are rooted in the same fundamental values as reproductive rights, and that every person should be able to realize for themselves who they are and decide what they do with their body. We believe that these basic rights should never depend on which state you live in. That’s why we fight for health care policies that help transgender people to feel safe and supported, and why we’re calling on all Planned Parenthood supporters to join that fight.
