November is Transgender Awareness Month. We use this month to raise awareness about our lives as trans people; the struggles and discrimination we face every day, as well as debunking misinformation spread by the government, media and hate groups. It's also a time to celebrate the wonderful aspects of being trans, and how understanding our experiences can help to expand our understanding of gender as a whole. #equalityanddiversity #transrights #transgenderawarenessmonth #transgenderawareness
