Transgender Awareness Month is an annual celebration of transgender history and the transgender community. It is celebrated every November to commemorate the Transgender Day of Remembrance, which occurs on November 20th. The month is centered around educating people about the transgender community, raising visibility of transgender people, and advocating for their rights.
The primary goals of Transgender Awareness Month are to increase visibility of transgender people and to raise awareness about the discrimination and violence that the community faces. During the month, organizations, communities, and individuals come together to host events and activities to celebrate the transgender community and educate the public about the unique experiences of transgender people. These events may include marches and parades, lectures and workshops, film screenings, and art exhibitions.
