Text reads “It’s National Coming Out Day! It’s great to be loud and proud, and to be safe when needed. Your transness is valid no matter how “out” you are about it.”Text reads “We all deserve to live openly and freely. But a lot of us are thinking twice about where we’re out, who we’re out to, and how visible we can safely be. You’re not alone.”Text reads “Thinking about coming out? We made heyimtrans.com for you. You can find articles, guides, pre-written templates, and resources for allies.”Text reads “Thank you for being you! Together we’ll keep celebrating each other and building a safer, more equitable world, where trans people can be fully ourselves without fear.”

Peer support is suicide prevention. Listen without judgment. Believe what someone tells you. Let their needs change. Remind them they don’t have to figure everything out right now. And if you don’t know what to say, we’re here to listen. 💜 What to expect when you call: translifeline.org/hotline

Suicide prevention is more than crisis intervention. It’s gender affirmation, autonomy, peer support, housing, food, healthcare, community, connection. It’s listening without judgment and not taking control away from them. Trans people deserve more than survival. 💜 translifeline.org/resource-kit

Gender diversity isn’t new. Many words we use may be newer. Our existence isn’t.

This #TransHistoryMonth, we’re looking back at some of the histories that brought us here — and celebrating the history trans people are still making every day.

We’re still here. ✨
