Transgender Day of Remembrance 🕯️🏳️⚧️
We honour the trans and gender-diverse lives lost to violence–a crisis that continues to intensify worldwide.
Today, we grieve with loved ones. Tomorrow, we continue the fight for safety, dignity, and justice for all trans people.

Coming out is a personal choice that shouldn’t feel pressured. Digital spaces can offer queer and trans youth connection, learning, and resilience to make coming out feel safer.
You are a valid part of the community, no matter where you are on your coming out journey. ❤️

Participants in our video gaming study, LEVEL UP! 🎮, taught us that representation matters. Too often, bisexuality is framed as a “phase." In The Last of Us 2, Dina is a thoughtful exception to this trend.
Here’s to seeing more representation like this in media!
