Statement in Support of Trans Men
We affirm, uplift, and stand in unwavering solidarity with trans men—whose lives, experiences, and identities are too often overlooked or erased in broader conversations about gender equity and LGBTQ+ rights.
Trans men deserve to be seen in their full humanity: not only in struggle but in strength, not only in survival but in joy. They are brothers, leaders, creators, caregivers, protectors, and visionaries. Their identities are valid, their journeys are powerful, and their contributions are essential to our communities.
We recognize the unique challenges trans men face, including barriers in healthcare, misrepresentation, gender-based violence, racism, and systemic invisibility. We are committed to challenging transphobia and cissexism wherever it appears, and to building spaces where trans men feel safe, affirmed, and celebrated.
To every trans man:
You matter. You are seen. You are respected. You are loved.
