This week has been Transgender Awareness Week. The aim of Transgender Awareness Week is to educate the wider community about transgender and gender non-conforming people and the issues associated with transition and identity.⁠ ⁠ We are sharing a few resources here that may be helpful to those of us that want to be better allies, or deepen our understanding of the issues facing transgender people the world over (and a brilliant graphic with full credit to the the wonderful Courtney Ahn Design)⁠ ⁠ But MORE over, this week we also want to celebrate TRANS JOY! To ALL our trans family across the world - WE SEE YOU, WE SUPPORT YOU, AND WE LOVE YOU. ⁠ ⁠ If there are trans people in your life or trans creators that you would like to give a shout-out to in the comments - please feel free to share so we can spread a little love.⁠ ⁠ And remember - awareness is just the start. Real allyship is about action.

All. Black. Lives. Matter. Black disabled lives matter. -LadySpeech Today is a good day to check our internalized ableism. Today is a good day to realizes that Black Disabled people endure a higher level of abuse, oppression, and discrimination than able bodied Black people. Today is a good day to recognize how Global Anti-Blackness, environmental racism, and Ableism kill disabled Black people at alarming rates. Today is a good day to check into the fact that Chadwick Boseman was a disabled Black Man who embodied and brought to life the spirit of Black Panther. Today is a good day to put in some research as an abled body person to learn how to show up better for our disabled siblings. Today and everyday is a good day to scream All. Black. Lives. Matter. Black disabled lives matter. -LadySpeech #LadySpeech #LadySpeechSankofa #AllBlackLivesMatter #DisabledBlackLivesMatter #BeABetterAlly https://www.instagram.com/p/CEevmyDADh1/?igshid=mvcb2uw6lujm
