Transgender Awareness Week reminds us of the beauty, strength, and authenticity that our trans sisters and brothers embody every day as they fight to simply exist.

Pride was never meant to be polite. It began with bans, with batons, and with queer people who refused to run. It’s threatened by every law that tries to erase us. And still – we speak out, we stand together, and we refuse to run. This month isn’t decoration. It’s defiance.
