Advocacy & Programs → Stigma Warrior Raise your voice.

I want to remind you that who you are is good enough. And it’s okay if who you are changes tomorrow. You are worthy. You are loved.

Change comes when we begin to have the tough conversations but we also have to be willing to understand all perspectives and respect each other as individuals.

Today as a proud Transman, I stand with the entire Trans Community to celebrate who we are & to make our voices heard! Lets not forget those we have lost along the way, and always remember how & why they died.

I fight stigma in my daily life by being a resource for others and also by sharing factual information about HIV testing, treatment, care access, and prevention.

It’s important to remember that living with HIV does not define your worth or your capabilities. Focus on your strengths, achievements, and the unique qualities that make you who you are.

In my life, I fight stigma by showcasing myself as a multifaceted individual who transcends stereotypes. I refuse to be limited or defined by any stigma, and I do not allow its influence to hinder me. I speak out and because I have the privilege and safety to do so, I don’t back down to those who wish to throw that stigma at me.
