Trans Awareness Week has wrapped - but the work continues. Now more than ever, we need to continue sharing knowledge on trans and gender diverse identities. We need to continue supporting our trans and gender diverse siblings who make our communities all the more vibrant, creative, rich, and loving for their existence. Trans Awareness Week reminds us that until trans folks can freely access gender affirming care, walk safely and freely from violence, and not be targeted for mass media clicks, we must continue our work, not only in this week, but beyond.

🕯️Transgender Day of Remembrance - 20 NOV🕯️ Today on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honour and remember the lives lost to transphobia and discrimination. To our trans family, friends, colleagues, and community, we are here for you. We see you and pay tribute to your resilience and ongoing strength. Trans Day of Remembrance or Trans Day or Resistance (TDOR) was started in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honour the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman of colour who was killed in 1998. The vigil commemorated all the transgender people lost to violence since Rita Hester’s death, and began an important tradition that has become the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance. If you need additional support during this difficult time, remember that QLife operates 3PM-9PM every day. #TDOR #TransDayofRemembrance #Trans [Image Description: two graphic images featuring a blue, pink, and white gradient background with text.

The Red Ribbon Appeal is ACON’s biggest and most iconic fundraising campaign held in the lead up to, and on, World AIDS Day on 1 December.

Image 4 reads: Image 4: Blak Trans Historicity. Today we also recognise the rich and unique cultural history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trans and gender diverse peoples, and also honour their place in the trans history of NSW. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities have long held understandings of sexual and gender diversity, with words in many languages reflecting concepts of a third or non-gender, as well as specific lore and customs for trans and gender diverse people. The colonial project imposed a Western binary understanding of gender on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and where trans as a language officially emerged into Western paradigms during the 20th century, Aboriginal communities have approximated their concepts into English words such as Sistergirl and Brotherboys.
