 2025第7屆台灣跨性別遊行｜跨越成見，照亮多元 

當世界往後退，我們更要一起向前走。

2025年對全球性少數，特別是跨性別族群，是尤其艱辛的一年。美國政府取消、限制公部門與公共服務裡，關於LGBTQ+族群的共融政策，甚至宣布只認可「男性、女性」；同時，令人遺憾地，英國最高法院的判決結果帶來了「跨性別女性不被視為女性」的負面效果。從石牆運動開始，全球LGBTQ+運動奮鬥將近60年，而有些國家卻開始回頭走進二分的框架裡，讓更多人再度陷入黑暗。

在性別二分的世界裡，框架無處不在，像一道道無形的牆，遮住了光。

從去年年底，知名台籍旅日作家「被迫」主動出跨性別的櫃子，揭露長期在網路上遭到肉搜、攻擊與性騷擾；今年年初，來自菲律賓的跨性別女性來台旅遊，受到夜店工作人員的言語歧視、拒絕入場；到熱線在服務中看見，跨性別朋友在日常租屋、求職、銀行業務或就醫等場合常被刁難或拒絕，這部分也與台灣更換身分證件仍須強制手術、門檻過高密切相關，證件性別與自我認同不符時，出示證件的每個環節都可能帶來困難；在2024年的LGBTQ+學生校園經驗調查中，熱線也發現跨性別學生在校園裡避免前往廁所的比例，將近是順性別學生的4倍。這些大大小小的事件，讓我們看見在台灣，跨性別社群的處境也相當艱辛。

當光線被框架遮住，陰影匯聚成黑，許多人只能藏身其中。有些人在框架裡活得自在，但也有些人，在黑暗裡才能悄悄地做自己。

這不只是跨性別或其他性少數族群的處境。即使是順性別同性戀、雙性戀、異性戀，也可能受困於過分僵化的性別框架中：男生被要求要堅強、不能哭；女生被期待溫柔、別太有野心。哭泣的男孩會被嘲笑、果敢的女孩會被說「不像女生」。各式各樣的成見，束縛了你我。

也因此，我們更需要彼此的陪伴與支持。唯有彼此看見，才能一起跨越成見，照亮每一個不一樣的人。

10/24星期五晚上7點，請加入我們，只要輕輕點起一盞燈，微弱的光線就能讓身處黑暗的人看見方向。那盞微光，也許是一則關心的訊息、一個對陌生人的友善舉動；或者是靜靜地站到孤單的人身邊。

今年的跨性別遊行，為跨性別與性少數族群而走，更是為所有仍在黑暗中摸索的人而走。讓我們並肩而行、照亮彼此，因為我們都曾在黑暗中。

加入跨性別遊行，讓我們一起跨越性別二分的框架與成見，照亮多元的彼此，點亮繽紛的未來。

🏳️‍⚧️ 2025 Taiwan Trans March — Break Prejudice, Shine Diversity

As the world moves backward, we must move forward together.

2025 has been a heavy year for LGBTQ+ communities worldwide, especially for the trans community. In the U.S., the government rolled back inclusive policies and announced it would only recognize “male” and “female.”In the U.K., the Supreme Court sent a deeply harmful message by ruling that “transgender women are not women.” Nearly sixty years after Stonewall, some nations are still moving backward, clinging to rigid binaries that push people back into the shadows.

Rigid frames work like invisible walls. They don’t just separate us—they shut out the light.

Here in Taiwan, trans communities carry their own burdens. Last year, a Taiwanese writer in Japan was forced to come out after relentless harassment, doxxing, and sexual abuse. Early this year, a Filipina trans woman was denied entry to a Taipei nightclub and insulted at the door. At Hotline, we meet trans people who are turned away from housing, rejected in job applications, or face obstacles in banking and medical services, challenges closely tied to Taiwan’s requirement of mandatory surgery to change official gender markers, which makes everyday situations requiring ID difficult or delayed. And in our 2024 School Climate Survey on LGBTQ+ Students in Taiwan, trans students were almost four times more likely than cisgender students to avoid using school bathrooms. Big or small, these stories show us the same truth: being trans in Taiwan is still far from easy.

And when the light is blocked, shadows spread. Some people hide there for safety. Others can only show who they are quietly, on the margins.

But this isn’t just a trans or LGBTQ+ problem. Even cisgender heterosexual people are policed by rigid gender roles: boys told to be tough and never cry, girls told to stay gentle and not too ambitious. A boy who weeps may be mocked; a girl who speaks up may be told she isn’t “feminine enough.” These stereotypes confine us all.

That’s why we need each other. When we truly see one another, we begin to break those frames. We let the light reach every life.

On Friday, October 24, at 7:00 pm, join us. Sometimes even the smallest candle can help someone lost in the dark. A caring message. A kind gesture. Standing quietly beside someone who feels alone.

This year’s Taiwan Trans March is not only for trans and LGBTQ+ people. It is for anyone who has ever struggled in the dark. Let’s walk together, carrying light for one another—because we all know how that feels.

Join the 2025 Taiwan Trans March. Together, we can break the binary, challenge prejudice, and light the way to a future full of color.
