Transphobic policies are being written into law worldwide—pushing measures that deny trans people’s existence, block them from sports, and police them in public spaces, like restrooms. Don’t be fooled: these attacks don’t protect anyone. They push trans people to the margins, make it easier to strip away their rights, and put them in danger. Sound familiar? ⁠ ⁠ The same forces trying to erase trans people are the ones restricting girls’ and women’s rights globally. From policing our bodies to restricting autonomy, our struggles are deeply connected. We cannot fight for gender justice without fighting for trans justice.⁠ ⁠ Trans and gender-expansive people are not outsiders in this movement—they are our family, our friends, our community. At Girl Up, we welcome youth of all gender identities to join our programs, start clubs, and lead alongside us. Because gender justice is for everyone, and this fight is all of ours.⁠ ⁠ #TransRightsAreHumanRights #GenderJusticeForAll
