took to the streets this week in Austin — literally — to declare that trans lives matter.Trucks, on behalf of the online trans and queer health platform Folx Health, drove around the state capital during Trans Awareness Week displaying messages on their sides including “protect trans youth” and “trans lives are precious.”In a post on Instagram, Folx Health shared that during Trans Awareness Week, it wanted to send a message loud and clear to the capitol, but that also “awareness” is only the beginning. “We need to go beyond awareness.
Most people are ‘aware’ that trans people exist. We must take action and continue to fight for our trans family. We must #ProtectTransYouth,” the platform wrote, explaining why the need for this message is so.
