As we celebrate American Independence Day, we think of those who have helped defend and preserve that freedom, and the cost those brave individuals have paid. We work to bring them relief from the trauma and toxic stress that’s followed them home.

More than 1.4 million adults in the US identify as transgender.
Increased risks for violence, suicide and poverty (particularly for POC) should inspire us to action-to listen, to support, to help.
Trans people are NOT a burden.

Stella Keating's a fantastic writer:
"Trans visibility matters. It helps eliminate barriers. And while I have so many goals for my future, I also know that our time as young people isn’t tomorrow, it’s today. I can be visible now." #TransDayOfVisibility
