For decades, the LGBTQ+ rights movement has been narrated as a linear march toward progress—from Stonewall to marriage equality, from the closet to corporate pride flags.

Trans individuals are disproportionately affected by violence, homelessness, and unemployment. The rollback of LGBTQ rights in some countries and the ongoing debate around trans rights in the US highlight the need for sustained advocacy and activism.
