The Tennessee Equality Project (TEP) and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) have authored several new policy briefs on state-sponsored LGBTQ+ discrimination in Tennessee.

Everyone can talk about natural things like bodies, sex, and relationships in responsible, affirming, ways that leave shame and stigma at the door and uplift bodily autonomy, responsibility, and healthy communication skills.

These are skills that we can build on for our whole lives. Sex ed isn’t just for teens—sex ed is for all!

While TDOV is a day of celebration, it also reminds us that there is still work to be done. Transgender people continue to face challenges in healthcare, employment, housing, and daily life. As March 31st approaches, take a moment to celebrate, learn, and take action. By increasing visibility and understanding, we can build a future where transgender people are seen, heard, and respected every day of the year.
