Ending Fear Through Education

The public narrative regarding transgender, queer, and gender nonconforming individuals removes their dignity by politicizing their identities and dehumanizing them. This can lead to increased risk for violence, discrimination, and mental illness. Our goal is to reduce this risk by addressing the source of it, namely, ignorance about gender identity and sexuality which engenders these false narratives and fosters fear and violence. Through our through our online education we work to educate our communities.
