Do I have to be transgender to come?

What a great question. No. You do not have to be transgender to come to the Transgender March. We welcome everyone to the Trans March. All genders will be there. It is going to be fun. Powerful. And definitely inspiring. Come be part of our scrappy second year of Trans Pride.

Be stylish, be proud, and as Calvin Gipson says--Spread Love.

Calling all transfolks, friends, allies and admirers!

We are calling for this march to demonstrate that we are a significant and growing portion of the lgbtiq community; to increase our visibility and presence in the tgiqlb community and the overall community at large; to encourage more trans and gender-variant people to come out; to build connections among ftm, mtf, bayot, crossdressers, sadhin, hijra, transvestites, bantut, drag queens, drag kings, mahu, transsexuals, bakla, travesti, genderqueers, kathoey, two spirit,intersex and those with other labels for themselves and no labels for themselves, those who see gender as having more than two options, and those who live between the existing options; to support one another as a community, through all of our struggles; to speak out against violence, hate, transphobia, and the oppression of any and all of us under the existing social structure; and to be fabulous and powerful in the company of others that are fabulous and powerful.

Dress up, show up, bring signs, speak out, and be what happens!
