Whether it’s on the stage of our events, in our online posts (like this one!) and our Climate Curious podcast, we want to give trans and non-binary people the platform to share their experiences and ideas.
Conversations around trans and non-binary people have become incredibly toxic and hateful in recent times. Looking beyond Pride Month, we want to take a moment to re-share our many talks by, or about, trans and non-binary people and their communities. We believe showing the depth and breadth of experiences of trans and non-binary folks can help challenge hateful, simplistic or stereotypical narratives.
We stand in solidarity with the trans and non-binary community. We believe all trans and non-binary people deserve the rights to live and love freely and without fear.
