Following her death on April 27, tributes poured in for her trailblazing impact on the transgender community. The induction is set for June 26 at the Stonewall Inn in New York, emphasizing the vital recognition of trans pioneers in light of ongoing challenges facing the community. Activists stress the importance of honoring these legacies amidst contemporary struggles against trans erasure.
This year's focus on transgender trailblazers and changemakers underscores the importance of recognizing our history and the current climate for our trans siblings.
