Trans+ social connection

trans+ folks need safe spaces to connect with other folks with shared identities and experiences- especially trans+ youth in this moment of increased discrimination and infringement upon self-expression. Representation matters! And seeing trans+ folks of all ages in their beauty and expansiveness is so important for youth- and all people- to feel as though they belong and are deserving of care, community, and safety.
