""At a moment when both our state and country are systematically trying to push trans people out of public life, erase our stories, and outright deny our existence, this proclamation recognizing Trans History Week is a beacon to trans people in San Antonio and across Texas," said Naveen Farrani, a spokesperson for Equality Texas."
""At the end of the day, we're people. The way that we talk about each other matters, and it's pushing people to make life-ending decisions. So we all have a duty to treat each other with respect and kindness and love," said City Councilman Jalen McKee-Rodriguez."
The San Antonio City Council has recognized May 4 through 10 as Trans+ History Week, marking a significant acknowledgment of transgender history. This proclamation comes at a time when trans individuals face systemic challenges in Texas. City Councilman Jalen McKee-Rodriguez emphasized the importance of recognizing the rights of all residents, advocating for respect and kindness. Trans+ History Week coincides with an international event commemorating the 1933 Nazi raid on the Institute of Sexology, a pivotal moment in transgender advocacy. San Antonio continues to promote LGBTQ+ inclusivity despite opposition from the state government.
