This 2nd day of LGBTQ+ History Month is the exact time to celebrate the historic formation of Advocates for Trans Equality! I was thrilled to hear last night that “the ink is finally dry” on the merger between the National Center for Transgender Equality and the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund, two longtime champions for the trans community.

Follow them, support them, and watch their vision for trans equality unfold on the frontlines of progress. 🏳️‍⚧️ #A4TE #transrightsarehumanrights #transequality
