HHS raised the Transgender Pride Flag outside its headquarters
today to commemorate Transgender Day of Visibility.
Gender-affirming care saves lives. When trans Americans go to the doctor, they deserve the same treatment as any other patient. Stand up against discrimination, especially when it comes to transgender kids. There is no room for people being bullied for who they are. At the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, we show up for the LGBTQI+ community in meaningful ways.
Here at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, we know that our work is enriched by the diversity of our staff. To all the LGBTQI+ scientists, doctors, social workers, researchers, caregivers, and colleagues across the health care and human services fields – thank you for making our communities healthier.”“Today marks Transgender Day of Visibility. Each year on March 31, we celebrate the transgender Americans, and all that they have accomplished.
On this Transgender Day of Visibility, we must continue to make focused and ongoing efforts to end inequities, eliminate the impacts of injustice, and improve access to care for everyone. Today, and all days, I stand proud and visible with my fellow Transgender Americans. Happy Transgender Day of Visibility.”“Transgender people have every right to live openly as themselves. On this Transgender Day of Visibility, we reaffirm that transgender people are full and equal members of our community.
