TwN Ally Award
What is a trans ally? It can be anyone actually that isn't trans. This would included the LGB community but also the non-LGBT Community. We don't refer to allies as "straight" ally's as many trans people identify as straight. So, just Ally.
If you are, whatever, you need an ally. You need an ally to get through school or to go through a surgery. You need an ally to get through life, period. Probably many allies. We, as trans people, can't do the work that needs to be done alone and we are so very thankful to have those allies that have taken obvious steps toward improving trans lives.
With this in mind, we have created the TwN Ally Award presented each year at the Transwomen National Banquet.
