Trans representation is matter of life and death

Daniel de Sousa April 3, 2018

"Representation matters. It showcases the diverse spectrum of gender, uplifts trans and non-binary individuals and educates cisgender people who were never taught anything outside of the gender binary. Under a presidential administration that has barred trans people from serving in the military and prevented transgender children and teens from using the bathrooms they feel comfortable using, it is vital that trans and non-binary youth and questioning individuals be made aware that our identities are not “abnormal.” And until trans and non-binary representation becomes mainstream, many people will still feel “othered,” and be “othered” socially."

And more often, invisible people have tons of power.”"
