trans liberation

Freedom from cisnormativity

Trans liberation is a political and social movement seeking freedom from discrimination, violence, and restrictive gender norms for transgender people.

It goes beyond legal equality to envision a society where gender identity is self-determined and trans people can live openly without stigma: Trans liberation benefits everyone by expanding how we understand gender.

The phrase echoes earlier liberation movements—gay liberation, women's liberation.
