About #TransStrong

The #TransStrong campaign celebrates the beautiful Trans and Gender Diverse people we know. It recognises the inequalities and transphobia that must be challenged and asks: how do TGD people get through the tough stuff? ​

One way of getting through tough stuff is to share stories about strengths - to help others find hope. Another way is through the support of allies. This campaign shares stories from TGD people and their allies as an act of resistance against transphobia - and as a celebration of hope. 

The #TransStrong campaign does not absolve transphobes of responsibility for their actions, rather it says: TGD people are not waiting for your enlightenment, TGD people are living their best possible lives now.
