Today is #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance 🕯️, an annual observance on November 20th that honors the memory of transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive people who lost their lives to transphobic violence. At least 25 lives were lost this year in the United States, with 325 reported deaths around the world. Countless lives have also been lost to suicide, with LGBTQ+ youth reporting significantly higher rates than their peers. Grief can be overwhelming. Anti-transgender legislation and the resulting wave of ignorance, discrimination, and hate can make us feel isolated, scared, and frozen. But for every painful attack, we know there are robust communities who will fight for our transgender loved ones. As we know at Gender & Family Project, family and community support systems can be the difference between life and death for an LGBTQIA+ child. We mourn together. We heal together. We support each other. Thank you for being part of our community. . . . . . . . . . . [Image Description: Graphic with a black background and a white square outline around the edges.

Summer Renaissance : Mess Mix for Pride 2023 Happy #PrideMonth + Happy #BlackMusic Month + Happy #Summer to all of us around the world who support lawmakers at every level of America’s government who serve, work and fight for #LGBTQ+ rights, young women’s #ReproductiveRights, for #MassacrePrevention, #GunControlNow and for honest-to-God truth, liberty, equality and justice for all. This summer playlist is dedicated to those of us who are committed to live, love, dance, work, evolve, vote, elect and re-elect public servants—instead of self servants—who have proven time and time again that they value the lives, freedoms, rights and safety of America’s taxpayers, men, women and school children more than the campaign and blood money they receive from gun-rights donors and special interests. #LiveYourLife #AcceptanceIsProtection #ProtectTransYouth #DiversityEquityInclusion #TransHealth #SelfCare #Summertime #TransIsBeautiful #DragIsARight #DragIsNotACrime #Drag #Read #Love #Learn #Dance #Pride #Organize #EnoughIsEnough #RepresentationMatters #Sha_daba_daba_daba_doo 🕺🏾 (Link to 🎶 in bio)

Sometimes we can make changes and improve the situation, sometimes we can influence things and make things better.... but sometimes we can't. We cannot control or change everything in our lives. (For example we cannot stop getting older, we can't stop natural disasters, we cannot change the outcome of an election, we cant erase traumas, we cannot bring someone back to life, we can't delete certain health conditions and we cannot make other people do everything we want them to). We cannot always change other people or the situation we are in, but we can control how we cope and care for ourselves. If we can't change things, practising radical acceptance and self compassion are the things we can do. We don't have to like or agree with things in order to accept that's how they are. For example: If you hate the rain you won't be happy when it happens, but you can notice it, accept that is here and be kind to yourself (maybe using an umbrella and doing what you want to despite the rain being there). #acceptance #radicalacceptance #whaticantcontrol #whaticancontrol #acceptancematters #acceptwhatyoucannotchange #acceptancequotes #focusonwhatyoucanchange #letgoofwhatyoucantcontrol #difficultsituations #copingskill #acceptwhatyoucantchange #acceptancetechnique #copingstrategy #copingmechanisms #acceptwhatis #acceptanceiskey #radicalselfacceptance #problem #focusonwhatyoucancontrol #copingtools #copingskills #acceptanceofself #acceptanceday #copingstrategies #acceptanceisprotection #acceptanceistheanswer #focusonwhatyoucando #problemsolving #copingmechanism

Always! #acceptanceisprotection #translivesmatter #transisbeautiful
I know we are living in misinformation age, with people spewing garbage about things THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, but let today be a day we all learn something, so that next time someone speaks from the wrong end, we have the knowledge to correct them! #transgender is a state of being, like #gay , #straight , #nonbinary , tall or short. It is not new, or an ideology, thus #transgenderism is not a word. "ISM" , as in #cubism , #marxism , #fascism and alike addresses a school of thought or belief, an ideology, like #trumpism , idiotic though it may be. So, please, if you want to insult me and my community, do it with the correct vocabulary and don't pretend you're trying to save us. We make you uncomfortable and confused, which makes you have to think, hard, which must hurt due to lack of practice. So, you're welcome. #representationmatters #translivesmatter #transrightsarehumanrights #protecttranskids #acceptanceisprotection #pooyaland #activist #mamapooya

Is it done? When you’ve had a vision and what came out scared you, made you see yourself differently and wonder if I try to add more now… or is it just done? raw and real and right now. If I force anything more here, isn’t that just like what I do in life when I try to do too much, try too hard, love more when less is what is needed? I can paint over the disjointed pelvic bowl but it will still be there. I can cover up the scared little one hiding inside but she’s still there. I can connect the fragmented parts with lines, but the space between tells stories of pain, dissociation, grief, loss and how it feels when I’m not sitting in my power. Unfinished or finished I love what this process reveals to me.
February 12th In honor of Iranian LGBTQIA history, @rahaintl presents five generations of Iranian LGBTQIA changemakers who will share their past and present activism in the Iranian queer space and where our movement is headed (Allies welcome!! 💚🤍❤️) Featured speakers are: @hakimilaw @pooyaland @houman.sarshar @instafame @ifuseekerik @deeztalks (Unfortunately, I won't be there in person, but I'll be zooming I from NYC. If you can make it to this event, definitely do! The Iranian LGBTQIA movement has a long and rich history in the US, however, most of the work of these leaders was done away from the public spotlight and sometimes in secrecy. This forum will explore their achievements and shed light on our push towards visibility and equality.

It's hard to believe we closed #TheSexParty at @menchocfactory over a week ago. I did an interview with @yasspress about the show, about being a #transgender #iranian and an #activist, about my thoughts, the #queer community in #iran , the #iranprotests and the feature of #iran , #transkids , representation and the future. Thank you @spirosyass for reaching out and giving me the platform to express my thoughts.

The holiday season can be a wonderful, loving time… and also a time of tension. If your child or loved one comes out or has made affirming changes, here are some tips on how to respond 💗 “When people feel loved and supported, they are more capable. They have greater resilience.” - @gottmaninstitute Thank you @raisingdee for the post!

🏳️🌈 Protect Queer Kids 🏳️⚧️ In 2022, over 100 transphobic bills were proposed in the United States, most of them targeting transgender youth. 60% of LGBTQIA+ youth who sought mental health care in the last year were not able to receive it. 1 in 3 transgender and non-binary youth do not find their home gender-affirming. Research has shown that queer youth have significantly better mental health and are less likely to attempt suicide when they have supportive adults in their lives. At the Gender & Family Project, we believe that change starts with the family. Help us continue our life-saving clinical services, support groups, and educational trainings with a gift today. ➡️ Donate to The Gender & Family Project at www.ackerman.org/donate #GivingTuesday #GFP #GenderAndFamilyProject #AcceptanceIsProtection #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransRights #ProtectTransYouth #Transgender #NonBinary
We grieve, and we continue to fight in the face of homophobic and transphobic violence. LGBTQIA+ and Non-binary and Gender Expansive family, you are seen. You are valued. You are loved. And above all, you deserve a safe and inclusive world where you can be your authentic self. Those who wear the ALLY badge, keep doing the work to make safety and inclusivity the norm. The third slide offers hotline support for youth. The last slide offers support for parents and caregivers. #lgbtq #beyondthebinary #respectforall #noplaceforhate #noh8 #acceptanceisprotection
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) 🕯️is an annual observance on November 20th that honors the memory of transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive people whose lives were lost to transgender violence. 💜 We honor those who were killed. 💜 We honor those who were themselves publicly. 💜 We honor those who existed privately. 💜 We honor those who were denied housing, healthcare, employment, and other necessary means of survival and were killed by a system set against them. 💜 We honor those who took their own lives. 💜 We honor those who died, struggling at the intersections of transphobia, misogyny, white supremacy, ableism, and other oppressions. You are not forgotten. Your existence shifted the world towards greater expansion. We hold your journeys in our hearts. #TDOR #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance #GFP #GenderAndFamilyProject #AcceptanceIsProtection #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransRights #ProtectTransYouth #Transgender #NonBinary

cw: transphobic language Trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming students often face transphobic bullying. Learn more about it and access some resources at @beyondbullying or at www.beyondbullying.com/transphobic-bullying 💜
cw: suicide September 10th is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay and the month of September is #NationalSuicidePreventionMonth. Transgender and gender expansive youth are at higher risk of suicide than their peers. At GFP, we help families support their kids by building a safe, nonjudgmental space for everyone💗 #AcceptanceIsProtection 🏳️⚧️ #GFP #GenderAndFamilyProject #TransYouth #Transgender #NonBinary
I ended the summer by doing an outdoor production of #Galatea by @mjkaufmanster, directed by @scameronh (produced by @em_bergman )! One of the characters I played was #venus (naturally 🥰❤😜) It was hot and sweaty and the cast combated helicopters and fairies to tell this story. It was beautiful to be, once again, among a multi expressed spectrum of queer artists. Why do I always bring it to that? Because the #lgbtqia community is being erased and pushed into the darkness. As someone who has lived in that darkness and know many who still do, I will forever be OUT, LOUD AND PROUD. As an #iranian woman of #transgender experience, I am proud of my journey, my community, my allies and most importantly MY KIDS in this community. They're my hope for a better and brighter future. Thank you to all who came and supported our magical and whimsical world. #representationmatters #lgbtqia #pooyaland #protecttranskids #acceptanceisprotection #mamapooya #iranianamerican #immigrant #saygay #prettyinpink This look brought to you by @alejofaj and @willapiro #tiara courtesy of @jacobthompson #خودت_باش #خودتو_دوست_داشته_باش #جامعه_رنگین_کمانی #ال_جی_بی_تی #نه_به_حجاب_اجباری #ایران_آزاد
