On the 1st of December we launched our GenderGP #AdventWishes advent calendar, where we revealed a different aspirational transgender or non-binary person or ally, along with their wish for the trans community for Christmas 2019 and the New Year.
We’ve been sharing these advent wishes; words of inspiration, strength and fun to the transgender community on the GenderGP Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts every day, but for those of you who aren’t on social media, we thought we’d share them here too, so you can join in the inspirational messages….
Come back and see the latest post each day of the Christmas Advent to get your own dose of #TransInspiration and seasonal cheer!
You can also follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook at @GenderGP to keep up to date with all of the latest news, inspiration and fun!
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful New Year
