On behalf of Emperor Joseph Shelton, Empress Autumn Quinn, Prince Royal Anthony Garcia, Reign 49, the UCPPE Board of Advisors, and the UCPPE Council of Regents, we take today to remember and stand our ground in support of our trans friends and siblings both inside and outside of our realm. Today, on Trans Day of Visibility, we pause to honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of the trans community. We recognize those who have paved the way for progress, ensuring that the paths we walk today were fought for with courage and determination, starting with Marsha P. Johnson. In a time when the current administration continues its relentless attacks on trans rights, we stand in unwavering solidarity with our trans siblings. The fight is not just for acceptance—the fundamental right to be, thrive, and live authentically in a world that often tries to erase them. Today, we also take a solemn moment to remember two of our Five Guardians of the Peak, Daniel Davis Aston and Kelley Loving. Their lives were stolen from us too soon, but their legacies of love, community, and resilience live on. We will always stand to fight for what they stood firm for—unapologetic authenticity and the right to exist in safety and dignity. To our trans friends, siblings, and loved ones: We see you, we honor you, and we stand with you—today and always. Your visibility is powerful, your existence is valid, and your fight is ours. #TransDayOfVisibility #UCPPE #StandWithTrans #TransChildrenMatter
