And it is momentous to do so! However, of course, it's not the only way going to pride parades, celebrating with friends, or having your own celebration is just as good, if not more fun. For those who are out as transgender, gender non-conforming, genderqueer, nonbinary, or identify anywhere outside of the cisgender binary, just being yourself and expressing your gender identity is a way of celebrating this. It is something to celebrate, our own continuation, contribution, and resistance to oppression. That, in it itself, is a lot to be proud of- let alone each individual's transgender experience that brings more color to personal pride. Pride itself has a long history rooted in defying gender normalities and cisgender, heteronormative ideals. With that out of the way, being trans during pride month can hold a lot of meaning for a lot of people, especially given the incomparable history led by transgender women that helped to shape the LBGT+ community today.
