Transgender Awareness Week

📅 November 13–19 marks Transgender Awareness Week, a dedicated time to increase visibility of transgender, non‑binary, and gender‑diverse individuals, amplify their stories, and elevate advocacy for inclusive rights and protections. glaad.org+2glsen.org+2

In an era where transgender people remain at the sharp edge of legislative attacks, healthcare access struggles, and social stigma, this week is not just about visibility—it’s about commitment. Recent data shows that over half of anti‑LGBTQ+ incidents are directed at transgender and gender‑nonconforming individuals, underscoring the urgency of our collective action. Axios

At LGBT Senior Housing and Care, we recognize that transgender older adults often navigate the intersection of ageism, transphobia, medical neglect, and social isolation. Our mission is to create affirming housing and community environments where trans elders are seen, supported, and celebrated for the wisdom they carry and the resilience they model.

This Transgender Awareness Week, we invite you to join us by: • Sharing the stories of transgender elders and leaders whose lives paved the way • Advocating for gender‑affirming care, inclusive housing policies, and safe environments for people of all ages and gender identities • Educating yourself and your community on terminology, issues, and allyship—recognizing that inclusive spaces benefit us all. glaad.org

Together, we move beyond awareness to action—building a community where all gender‑diverse people, including our elders, can live with dignity, belonging, and purpose. 🌈
