45 Instagram Captions to Celebrate Being Trans During Transgender Awareness Week
Published Nov. 17 2021, 6:11 p.m. ET
Each year, Transgender Awareness Week is celebrated from Nov. 13 through Nov. 19, when trans folks and allies fight to raise awareness and visibility for the trans community. It's a time to continue advocating for equal rights for people of all gender identities and fighting against ongoing injustice against trans people, but it's also a great way to celebrate being our true and genuine selves, whether we exist within the gender binary or outside of it altogether.
Whether you're out proud, closeted but questioning, or an ally to the cause, Transgender Awareness Week is the perfect time to express your love and support for the community. Outside of signing petitions, organizing events, or attending demonstrations, there's never anything wrong with posting your solidarity on social media.
In case you're having trouble coming up with a caption to add to your posts or your pictures, here are some to help you get started.
Happy Transgender Awareness Week!
