On October 11, 1988, National Coming Out Day was observed for the very first time. In the 36 years since then, this day continues to commemorate the significance of visibility and the power that has to bring about change.

The language we use to describe our experiences as trans and LGBTQ+ folx is continuously evolving. At Transinclusive, we're embracing the power of exploring new ways to describe our journeys and how we share them with others. Rather than "Coming Out," we're celebrating the power of "Inviting In." It's a reminder that sharing who you are with others is about inviting them into your truth and your story, on *your* terms.

Inviting In looks different for everyone. The power of Inviting In lies in your autonomy, in choosing when, where, and how share your authentic self with the world, with certain trusted individuals, or with yourself. As we celebrate National Inviting In Day, remember that your safety and well-being always come first, and inviting others in is never an obligation or requirement. However you choose to share your story with others, you are valid, you are loved, and you are never alone.

If you're exploring what Inviting In means for you, The Trevor Project has a fantastic resource that can help: https://bit.ly/3eokZN6

Today is National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness D

Today is National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, a day to help stop HIV stigma and encourage HIV testing, prevention, and care among gay, bisexual+, and same-gender loving men. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

As advocates, our fight against stigma and for increased access to care must be intersectional, ensuring everyone's voice is heard. Although gay, bisexual, and same-gender loving men represented 70% of new HIV diagnoses in the U.S. in 2019, it’s essential to recognize that these disparities are driven by systemic barriers such as racism, homophobia, and discrimination. Notably, Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino men are disproportionately impacted, and transmasculine individuals may be up to seven times more likely to be living with HIV than the general population. These disparities highlight the urgent need for more inclusive approaches to healthcare that prioritize addressing the intersections of race, gender identity, and sexuality in HIV responses.

Taking care of your health is a journey we can embark on together, and learning your HIV status is an essential step. Explore testing options at KnowYourHIVStatus.com, where you can find a local testing site or request a FREE home test kit. For help finding a PrEP provider or accessing care, Transinclusive is also here to help at (954) 903-1297 x 102.

Free At-Home COVID-19 Tests are available again! A

Free At-Home COVID-19 Tests are available again! As of late September 2024, residential households in the U.S. are eligible for another order of 4 free at-home tests from USPS.com.

Here's what you need to know about your order:
• Each order includes 4 individual rapid antigen COVID-19 tests (COVIDTests.gov has more details about at-home tests, including extended shelf life and updated expiration dates)
• Orders will ship free, starting September 30, 2024

We're still thinking about Transcon 🤠, Transinclusive Group joined @AquaFoundation at TransCon 2024 at @PrideCenterFL in Wilton Manors. As a long-running event in South Florida, TransCon brought together old friends and new faces in a safe, inclusive, and accessible space. From important discussions led by trans leaders to an amazing @OutMyClosetorg boutique, fantastic shared meals, and countless opportunities to connect and celebrate each other, it was a powerful day for our community.

In a state where our trans siblings face hostile rhetoric and harmful policies, gatherings like this are so essential. They reaffirm that Florida is OUR home, these are OUR spaces, and we are STRONG when we unite. Our team had a wonderful time connecting with the community and partnering with South Florida’s affirming organizations like @TransSOCIAL, @AriannasCenter, @TheMcKenzieProjectInc, @TransEdFlorida, @SunServeFtl, and many others to provide resources for our siblings.
