#TransAwarenessWeek: Bonus podcast playlist

Trans Awareness Week (TAW) is November 13-19. During the week, people and organizations raise the visibility of transgender people and address issues members of the community face. TAW always precedes Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), which is on November 20. TDOR honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence that year.

This playlist offers an opportunity to hear about the wide range of experiences transgender people have. In addition to the playlist below, we’ve also included a section on “Book and Other Resources” at the end of the page.
