Transgender Parent Day

Transgender Parent Day is celebrated annually on the first Sunday of November. The month of November is chosen because it is Transgender Awareness Month, and also the month that includes Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Transgender Parent Day is a special day celebrated annually to honour and recognise transgender parents and parents of transgender children. This day is opposed to the more traditional Mothers’ or Fathers’ Days.

Transgender Parent Day is especially important for transgender parents who may feel isolated or invisible in their communities. It’s a reminder that they are supported, appreciated, and accepted for who they are. It’s an opportunity to create a community of support and understanding for transgender parents and their loved ones.

What does it mean to be transgender?

Being transgender is a term used to describe a person whose gender identity does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. It is a gender identity that is independent of biological sex and is may be accompanied with a strong desire to transition to the gender with which one identifies. Transgender people may identify as female, male, nonbinary, gender non-conforming, or another gender identity that is not binary.
