Trans Parent Day
1st Sunday in November – Nov 5, 2023
This day was first established in 2009 and is a day to celebrate and honour transgender parents instead of the traditional Mother’s or Father’s Day. Today the day also includes parents who have transgender children. This day typically involves small celebrations and gift-giving to one’s parent or caregiver.

Transgender Awareness Week
2nd Week of November Nov 6-11
Dedicated to increasing visibility and awareness of the transgender community.
Trans Rights are Human Rights.
When we talk about trans rights we mean the right to exist without fear of harassment, violence and discrimination simply because we are transgender.
The trans community is constantly battling for the right to do everyday tasks with the same level of respect and decency as cis-gender individuals. (cis-gender means your gender identity matches your biological sex.)
