🏳️‍⚧️💖 Happy Trans Parents Day! 💖🏳️‍⚧️

Today, we celebrate transgender and nonbinary parents in all the beautiful ways they show up for their families. Trans parents deserve to be celebrated not in spite of who they are, but as the loving, caring, and extraordinary parents they are.

Trans people can be parents. Trans people can be nurturers, protectors, role models, and safe places for their children to land. Our identities do not diminish our ability to love, care for, and raise the next generation. 🌈

Today, we honor trans parents who are raising children, those who are navigating parenthood while discovering themselves, those who are fighting to protect their families, and those who are building a world where their children can grow up knowing that love comes in many forms.

To every trans parent: You belong. Your family is valid. Your love matters. You deserve safety, dignity, joy, and the freedom to be yourself while raising your children. 💙🩷🤍

Let's build a world where every parent is supported and every child knows that their family is worthy of respect. 🫶

💙🩷🤍 November is Transgender Awareness Month! 🤍🩷💙

This November, we’re celebrating transgender and gender-diverse communities, raising awareness, sharing resources, and creating spaces where everyone can feel seen, supported, and valued. 🏳️‍⚧️

✨ Here’s what’s coming up this month!

🕯️ Transgender Day of Remembrance
Join us November 20th from 7–9 PM at 640 Centre Ave, Reading, PA, as we honor and remember the transgender people whose lives have been taken by anti-transgender violence.

💬 Community Voices Meeting
Are you trans or gender-diverse? Join us November 21st at 10 AM at the Reading Public Museum to connect with our community, share your thoughts, and let us know how we can better support you!

📚 Awareness & Resources
We’ll be sharing posts throughout the month to raise awareness, answer your questions, and provide helpful resources. Have a question? Leave it in the comments!

🏳️‍🌈 A New Virtual GSA Is Coming!
We’re excited to begin our very first virtual Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA) for homeschoolers and students whose schools don't offer these spaces. Keep an eye out for more details!

Transgender Awareness Month is about more than awareness. It’s about community, belonging, dignity, and making sure transgender and gender-diverse people know they are not alone. 💙

Follow along, share our posts, ask questions, and help us build a community where everyone belongs. 🩷🤍💙

💛💜 Inters*x Awareness Day 2026 | October 26 💜💛

Today, we recognize Inters*x Awareness Day, celebrating inters*x people and reaffirming our commitment to dignity, inclusion, bodily autonomy, and belonging.

This year marks 30 years since an early public demonstration by inters*x people and allies in Boston on October 26, 1996. We honor the courage of those who spoke out and the inters*x advocates who continue to work toward a world free from stigma and discrimination.

What does it mean to be inters*x? Inters*x is an umbrella term for people born with variations in s*x characteristics, including chromosomes, hormones, and reproductive anatomy, that differ from typical medical definitions of male and female bodies. Inters*x people have diverse identities, experiences, and lives.

Despite growing awareness, inters*x people continue to face stigma, discrimination, and medical interventions performed without their informed consent. Everyone deserves the right to bodily autonomy, respect, and the freedom to make informed decisions about their own body.

As a Pride community, we believe inclusion means recognizing and celebrating the full diversity of our LGBTQIA+ community. That means listening to inters*x voices, challenging misconceptions, respecting individual experiences, and making space for inters*x people to be heard, supported, and celebrated.

Inters*x people deserve more than awareness. They deserve respect, autonomy, safety, and belonging.

Today and every day, we stand in solidarity with inters*x people and advocates working toward a world where everyone can live authentically, free from shame and discrimination.

As*xual Awareness Week: October 25–31

What does it mean to be as*xual?

As*xuality (ace) is a s*xual orientation characterized by experiencing little or no s*xual attraction. Like any orientation, it can look different from person to person.

Being as*xual doesn’t necessarily mean someone doesn’t want a romantic relationship, experience love, or desire emotional intimacy.

As*xuality isn’t a phase, something to fix, or a choice. It’s a valid identity deserving of respect.

This As*xual Awareness Week, let’s challenge misconceptions, listen to ace voices, and help build a world where everyone can feel seen and accepted.
