4.5/5

Ultimately, transgender identity is not a subgenre of LGBTQ+ culture; it is one of its primary colors. To celebrate Pride without centering trans joy is to celebrate a parade without its band. The trans community offers the queer world a radical reminder: that identity is not a cage, but a horizon. That we are not defined by the bodies we are born into, but by the truth we dare to live.

: Gender identity is an internal perception of one's own gender, while sexual orientation refers to romantic and physical attraction to others. Transgender people can have any sexual orientation.
