Visible and Vital: Protecting Transgender and Non-Binary Youth

Visible and Vital: Protecting Transgender and Non-Binary Youth

According to the 2025 National School Climate Survey, 71% of trans students felt unsafe at school because of their gender. Compounded with issues of racism, transgender youth of color are more likely to be subjected to racial discrimination than their cisgender peers. In this session, we will read a true, teen-written story about being a young trans person and discuss how to create a healthy environment for trans and non-binary students to thrive. We will review key terms like cisgender, transgender, gender queer, and nonbinary, as well the impact racism has on education and a student’s sense of belonging. Participants will leave the session with a deeper understanding of trans and non-binary students and actionable steps they can take to support them.
