Dear Reader,
No matter where you live, it is important to know this: Transgender and gender-nonbinary people have often held a revered place in their societies. We have been healers, shamans, revered rulers. We are no less than the stars and we are expressions of all that is beautiful in this universe that knows no other constant but change.

So go forward … in your life, in your world, knowing that you are perfect, whole, and complete. Operate from a place where you know your own power, your own marvelousness.

Know that your ancestors were no less than gods.

From Trans +: Love, Sex, Romance, and Being You by our dear friend Kathryn Gonzales, MBA and our Executive Director Karen Rayne, PhD, CSE.

Happy first day of Transgender Awareness Week and remember comprehensive sex ed saves lives. We want to both celebrate the victories of our trans family while also taking time to acknowledge those lost this year and prior. Friday, November 20 is Trans Day of Remembrance.
