Transgender Awareness Week Is Here

Wayne Besen November 14, 2012

November 12 – 20 individuals and organizations around the county will participate Transgender Awareness Week to help raise the visibility of transgender and gender non-conforming people, and address the issues these communities face. Truth Wins Out is in full support of the trans community and happy to participate.

Clearly, there is a lot more work to do. In many cases, transgender Americans are harassed just for using the bathroom.

The ‘T’ of the LGBT – easily the bravest of us all.

I dont think it should merely be an a awareness week – we should be honouring, nay saluting our Trans brothers and sisters.
