We stand in unwavering support of the trans community, today and always. The anti trans actions yesterday have no place in a world where everyone deserves to live free from discrimination, vilification, violence and harassment.

Everyday things are transformative - like using people's preferred name, providing spaces for community, pronoun badges on a table for ppl to look through

People smile from ear to ear, they feel connected, it brings joy
