"Well, I have a LOT of dreams. When I was in first grade, I wanted to be a pilot and take my kids all around the world. But now I want to be a scientist and a historian.

And I think I might want to be a singer, too, but maybe not as a job, I haven’t really decided about that part yet!"—a Little SMYALs YouthICYMI: SMYAL's Transgender Awareness Week campaign will feature messages about the hopes and dreams of trans Little SMYALs youth and their parents & caregivers.We at SMYAL recognize the significance of sharing trans stories, which is why this #Semana de la Conciencia Trans we are highlighting the humanity of trans youth and their families by sharing messages of hope and love.Especially now more than ever, we feel that this is a good moment to remind people that trans youth are powerful, beautiful, and full of possibility.

This Transgender Day of Remembrance feels especially heavy. We take today to remember, mourn, and honor the lives of our trans and nonbinary siblings we lost in the last year.We also must reckon with the climate that has allowed misinformation and fear-mongering to fuel hatred and violence against our community. It is crucial that we continue to advocate for protections, inclusion, and rights. To build a world where no more lives are lost from hatred.We at SMYAL are dedicated to creating safe spaces for trans youth to find community with one another and foster joy.So today and every day, we remember the lives of our trans siblings who were taken from us much too soon and commit to work harder than ever before for those who are still with us. 🏳️‍⚧️ ...

"It's hard - as someone who is trans myself I don't want my child to have to experience a world where I know she will have to work harder in order to be seen and accepted as the person she truly is, at the same time that she is already the bravest young person I know and I'm excited for the possibility of a positive future for her and other future trans adults."—a Little SMYALs CaregiverICYMI: SMYAL's Transgender Awareness Week campaign will feature messages about the hopes and dreams of trans Little SMYALs youth and their parents & caregivers.We at SMYAL recognize the significance of sharing trans stories, which is why this #Semana de la Conciencia Trans we are highlighting the humanity of trans youth and their families by sharing messages of hope and love.Trans youth are powerful, beautiful, and full of possibility.
