Stand With Us: Empowering Trans Communities in Texas

This week reminds us just how critical for all of us to stand firm in our commitment to protecting and uplifting trans and intersex communities—especially here in the South, and in Texas, where political rhetoric often targets our very existence. Every day, we face rising hostility in policies, in schools, and even in our neighborhoods. But with your support, we continue to be a beacon of strength and solidarity.

Gender Unbound remains resilient and committed to building life-affirming spaces and staying present for those who need us most.

Our work is not just about surviving but about creating a world in which we can thrive–where trans and intersex art is abundant, and connection and resources flow freely between all of us. But, we can’t do it alone.

You might be feeling layers of reactions, numbness, outrage, fear, doom, shock right now–we certainly are. In the coming days, weeks, years, we ask that you channel those feelings into action. Trans and intersex Texans don’t need pity—we need partners and we need each other. With your contribution, you empower our work on the ground, support trans and intersex leadership, and bolster the community.

By donating today, you’re making a direct impact on the lives of trans people who are often scapegoated in our national and local conversations. Stand with us as we continue to build hope and resilience, showing that trans and intersex Texans are here to stay. We will not be pushed down or out by fear; our community has always been what has kept us safe. It has never been the state or the government. It’s only ever been you, and me, and each other.

We have so many vibrant dreams of trans and intersex art and community spaces waiting to happen next year.

Your support gives us strength, reminding us that we are not alone. Please consider donating today or donating monthly. Join us in committing deeply now more than ever to making this work possible.
