What is the I AM HUMAN Project?
The I AM HUMAN Project was created to raise awareness about the growing "out" young trans* population. The young trans community is at greater risk for bullying and suicide than any other LGBT+ identity. Trans* young people have to grapple with their own sense of self and how society sees them. The goal of this project is to show solidarity with young trans* students.
