EMPOWERING TRANS VOICES

From athletes to actors, authors to activists, trans and gender-diverse people are reshaping the world through their stories, their content, and their voices.

TransPonder is proud to support the trans and gender-diverse community daily through our programs, services, and resources, and this year, in honor of Trans Day of Visibility, we are excited to present “Empowering Trans Voices,” a month-long celebration of the beauty and power of trans people making an impact around the world.
