Transgender Awareness Week Highlights Crisis and Celebration
Transgender Awareness Week highlights the crisis facing the transgender community, exacerbated by the 2024 presidential election's anti-trans rhetoric. This has led to increased fear, anxiety, and a surge in calls to crisis hotlines. The community is bracing for potential anti-trans legislation and restrictions on gender-affirming healthcare. Organizations are providing support and resources to help transgender individuals navigate these challenges, while violence against the community has also risen, prompting calls for increased safety measures.
