Our scholar grantee @BethanyGraceHow wrote this powerful piece for @ConversationUS about the detrimental impact of microaggressions in the media (and IRL) on the mental health of trans folks.

[THREAD] In 2018 thus far, 22 known trans Americans have been murdered. A staggering 41% of the trans community reports having attempted suicide at least once in their lives.
Why?

It's in this vein that Bethany co-created #MelodysStories: The Enduring Identity Project – named after a transgender woman, Melody, who was denied the peace she sought to live as her true self – both in life, and in death.
We're wrapping up Trans Awareness Week with a special message from @Caitlyn_Jenner herself! With 2018 coming to the end, we're looking ahead to 2019: The future of the Foundation, and the trans community at large.
This MUST be celebrated during #TransAwarenessWeek. A crucial piece of visibility we've fought for is the freedom to earn acting roles of cis characters. @andrejapejic may be the first actor to break that invisible societal boundary in a major film.

Happy #TransAwarenessWeek! This time of year is all about coming together in community (online, and IRL!), elevating each other, and honoring where we've come from. Let's push to continue their legacy.
THANK YOU again @CaitJennerFDN for supporting our work!
For every trans/nb kid there are 10+ fam w questions. We help ground them in supporting their kid/sib/fam, regardless of where they are on the spectrum of acceptance.
@Caitlyn_Jenner, you're doing good work. Thank you!
Bethany's time in Louisville really knocked it out of the park 😉! Over the past couple of months, she's been gathering so much crucial information on your life experiences as trans folks.
Her next stop: the Big 🍎 in early December! Keep your eyes peeled for NYC dates + info.
We're so thrilled to be able to support four more organizations doing incredible work supporting the trans community in Arizona!
