#ProtectTransPeople

#TransRightsAreHumanRight #DeafTransgender #DeafTrans #WeLoveYou
From Kellie Martin: Trans and nonbinary people deserve to live safely, freely, and with dignity—without fear, discrimination, or harm. Their existence is not up for debate. It’s up to all of us to stand up, speak out, and protect our trans community. Support, uplift, and fight for a world where trans lives are valued, celebrated, and protected. 💖💙🤍 #ProtectTransPeople #TransRightsAreHumanRights #nonbinary #they #humanright #lovewins #asl #protect #trans #people #activist [ID: three-panel digital illustration with a gradient background of blue, pink, and white, representing the transgender pride flag. Each panel features a different person signing in American Sign Language (ASL), along with bold black text forming the phrase “PROTECT TRANS PEOPLE.” The first panel shows a person with long, wavy hair signing “protect” in ASL. The second panel features a person with short, blond hair, glasses, and chest surgery scars signing “trans.” The third panel depicts a person with curly hair signing “people.” The artist’s IG handle, “@kelliemartinart,” is included in the bottom right corner.]

The ASL sign for ‘transgender’ is similar to the ASL sign for ‘beautiful’ but is signed on the middle of the chest.

Illustration by Deaf trans artist Carlisle Robinson.

⠀⠀
⠀⠀ Image description via Carlisle: an illustration of ASL for transgender in trans pride flag color. The sign starts with hands almost like high five but slightly bent with thumb a bit inside, as if you’re holding an egg. The hand is placed on chest with side of thumb and index finger touching your chest. Then the hand is moved away from chest with fingers in more closed, the hand is rotated that your palm is facing inward toward your chest. Then last sign is all fingers touching each other at fingertips, with side of your pinkie finger touching the chest. ⠀⠀ #deaftransgender #deaftrans #transgenderdeaf #deafandtrans #transgender #trans #transdayofvisibility #tdov #deafqueer #deaflgbt #deaflgbtq #lgbt #deafqueerart #deaftransart #queerasl #queersigns #americansignlanguage #transisbeautiful⠀
