Trans 100 logo

The Trans 100

The Trans 100 is an annual event that celebrates the excellence of 100 people working to advance transgender political and social rights. It is not an award ceremony or a choice of the "best" people, but a way to celebrate some people who advance transgender rights. This is vita because so much of the typical media focus tends to be on negative stories surrounding transgender identity. The Trans 100 is an attempt to shift the coverage of transgender issues to what's working.
