This #TransDayOfVisibility , we’re championing every trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive young person living their truth around the world 🌍🏳️‍⚧️No matter what “visibility” looks like to you—always remember that you are seen and you matter because you exist. You deserve to be supported and celebrated for every victory of visibility, big and small: 🏳️‍⚧️ The feeling that comes with taking your first hormone dose 🏳️‍⚧️ Being called your chosen name by someone who loves you 🏳️‍⚧️ Finding language to describe your identity 🏳️‍⚧️ Feeling euphoric in a piece of gender-affirming clothing 🏳️‍⚧️ Looking in the mirror and loving who you see looking back at you Remember: the most important visibility is the ways in which you are visible to yourself. Today, as we celebrate the vibrancy of the trans community, we also recognize that, for many TGNB+ young people, visibility and safety are not accessible. Wherever you are in your life, in your transition, and in the world: being visible and vulnerable in your body, your truth, your identity, and your lived experiences is a strength, not a weakness. Happy #TDOV 🏳️‍⚧️🧡 We’re proud of you. Keep going. · The Trevor Project provides free, confidential support 24/7/365 to LGBTQ+ young people seeking support. Call 1-866-7386, text ‘START’ to 678-678, or visit trvr.org/get-help 🧡 #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV #TransVisibility #TheTrevorProject

Checking in with your friends about how they’re ✨really ✨feeling with a non-judgemental, listening ear, destigmatizes conversations around mental health. These conversations are lifesaving. . TLDR: Check in on your friends. Give them our number. We are always here. The Trevor Project is always available to LGBTQ+ young people seeking support— 24/7/365, on every holiday, free & confidential.

Every Tuesday, we ask our community about what's on their mind. This week, their message cannot be clearer: Do better. LGBTQ+ young people deserve to live in a world where they are seen, supported, and safe. Yet, the unprecedented amount of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and laws across the country are harming their physical wellbeing and mental health. In the face of hate, homophobia, and transphobia, we want every queer, trans, nonbinary young person to know that we will never stop fighting for you and alongside you. We are here, whenever you need us. Day or night, call or text. Call us at 1-866-488-7386, text START to 678-578 or visit TRVR.org/help 🌈🧡

This Disability Pride Month, we’re celebrating the diverse identities and lived experiences of LGBTQ+ young people with disabilities 🌈 As June leads into July, we are reminded that there is no Pride without recognition of all bodies and all minds. We all show up in different ways — it’s critical our Pride is accessible and intersectional. Yet, we know that not all spaces are accessible or queer-affirming, which adds unnecessary burdens to LGBTQ+ young people with disabilities. Too often, folks with disabilities (both ‘visible’ and ‘invisible’!) experience erasure at the hands of assumptions and stigma. That’s where our research and advocacy comes in. Our 2024 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People offers key insights and underscores the importance of accessibility, affirmation, inclusivity, and health equity. Here’s what we know: (CW: discussion of mental health, suicide) ➡️ 29% of LGBTQ+ young people identified as having a disability, which highlights the intersection of identities within our community 🧡 Of that 29%... ➡️ 60% reported experiencing recent depression ➡️75% experienced recent anxiety ➡️48% seriously considered suicide in the past year, with 19% having attempted it ➡️65% felt discriminated against due to their disability, leading to higher rates of mental health struggles and suicidality Knowing the numbers, we see a hopeful path forward. Our survey also revealed that nearly ⅔ of LGBTQ+ young people with disabilities felt understood by their therapist, which was associated with significantly lower rates of suicide attempts. It’s more important than ever that we increase inclusion and equity in all aspects of healthcare. This Disability Pride Month, we affirm and uplift our community around the world, whoever you are and however you show up. 🧡 #DisabilityPrideMonth #LGBTQ #Intersectionality #TheTrevorProject

It’s July, ya’ll ☀️🌈 but we are still bringing the Pride energy into the rest of the summer! Showing up authentically — as your beautiful, unique self — is demonstrating pride in action every day, all year long. As we close Pride Month, remember that the present is always the perfect moment to show up, support, and advocate for LGBTQ+ young people, online and offline. Whether by advocating for queer and trans rights at a protest, amplifying LGBTQ+ voices online, or affirming someone’s gender identity and expression as a daily practice — your allyship is impactful and makes a true difference in the everyday lives of LGBTQ+ young people nationwide. Allyship must exist outside of Pride Month. That’s why we’re always here, 24/7, free and secure, on every holiday and in every moment, providing lifesaving crisis support to LGBTQ+ young people. At The Trevor Project, we will not rest until LGBTQ+ young people can live in a world where they are safe, seen, and celebrated for who they are — always. If you've read this far, you’re someone who supports our mission, and for that, we thank you 🧡 #TheTrevorProject #PrideInAction #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #allyship

What does #PrideInAction mean? For us, it means sending a message of deep support for the LGBTQ+ community. This year we focused on highlighting stories from our community about the relationships and actions that relay the crucial message to LGBTQ+ young people: 💙You belong. You matter.💙 Showing up as allies, not only during Pride but year round, can have a profound impact. Because building a world where LGBTQ+ young people see a bright future for themselves will take all of us. But together, we can help make the world a more welcoming place. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Native is continuing support for the LGBTQ+ community this year by donating $100,000 to @TrevorProject , the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ young people. Please note that purchasing products will not impact the donation total for the year. 🌈 Check out @TrevorProject to learn more about #PrideInAction and how you can strengthen your allyship this Pride Month.

This #PrideMonth , we were proud to work with @macys to tell the stories of LGBTQ+ young people nationwide.

On this 55th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, we honor those LGBTQ+ activists who stood firmly against the NYPD as the Stonewall Inn, a queer refuge, was raided in an act of homophobic police brutality. On this day in 1969, queer and trans New Yorkers said enough was enough — and the raid became a rebellion against injustice and erasure of LGBTQ+ people and spaces. The Stonewall Rebellion led to a butterfly effect; LGBTQ+ organizations and coalitions began forming in response to this direct action, and resistance riots arose nationwide. The first Pride march commemorated the one-year anniversary of Stonewall, and we have been marching ever since. The activism of Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, Miss Major Griffin Gracy, Stormé DeLarverie, and countless other BIPOC trans folks sparked a generation of LGBTQ+ liberation that has led to the legislative, social, and cultural shifts around LGBTQ+ equity that we have witnessed over the last fifty years. Too often, their contributions have been erased from history. We will always honor them. Today, The Stonewall Inn is the first national monument in America dedicated to an LGBTQ+ historical site. As we pause to recognize our history, we also recognize that we are living history in real time. Let us be inspired by the #PrideInAction of our LGBTQ+ elders, and use our queer joy to inspire equity and justice nationwide. #Stonewall #Intersectionality #LGBTQ #Pride #PrideMonth #TheTrevorProject
