2020 台灣跨性別遊行
遊行主題：鬥陣來去跨（Trans With Us）
我們希望跨性別族群能更進入社會的眼界、被大眾瞭解。
2019年，台灣首次跨性別遊行於台灣同志遊行（Taiwan LGBT Pride）前夕熱鬧登場。從事前籌備到遊行當下，可以發現許多民眾完全不認識跨性別，或不清楚跨性別與同性戀的差異；於此同時，跨性別在生活各個層面（如求職、上廁所、校園生活等），仍面對各種因性別而來的壓力――這些都凸顯為什麼台灣需要舉辦跨性別遊行。
「跨性別」不僅是個人認同與身份，也有跨越性別刻板疆界的意涵。因此，不論認同自己的性別為何，或以何種性別角色、性別裝扮生活，只要跨越了男女二分的主流社會期望，都可以是跨性別的一份子。
2020年台灣同志諮詢熱線協會再度舉辦跨性別遊行，主軸定為「鬥陣來去跨」，意涵如下：
1. 社會大眾要跨（看）過來
在性別二元的社會，男性被要求像個男人、女性被要求像個女人，但男人和女人不只有一種樣貌，沒有任何特質只能屬於單一性別。每個人或多或少都背負性別刻板印象的要求，也都在某個程度上跨越社會的性別框架。對於跨性別族群，社會大眾不但要看過來、也要跨過來：看見跨性別挺身挑戰性別刻板疆界時的處境、跨過自己與跨性別之間的藩籬、理解所有人都面對同樣的性別二元桎梏――所有人都能是打破性別刻板印象的鬥陣伙伴。
2. 跨性別要從同溫層跨（看）出去
跨性別的樣貌相當多元，然而，每個跨性別不見得都能了解其他跨性別的難處。熱線認為跨性別朋友不妨跨出同溫層，看看他人的歷程，因為每個突破框架的經驗都很重要；我們也需要跨出舒適圈和不同跨性別並肩，與社會互動並且表達想法，讓更多的跨性別議題能被看見。
3. 同、雙性戀社群要與跨性別鬥陣行
跨性別族群裡，也存在各樣的性傾向，如同性戀、雙性戀、異性戀或者無性戀等，他們對同、雙性戀運動不但表達支持，甚至身體力行參與。因此，我們也期許非跨性別的同、雙性戀朋友能夠站出來，支持跨性別運動、與跨性別鬥陣行，一起突破性傾向、性別認同、性別裝扮等的性別框架。
在此邀請所有LGBTI+和直同志，2020年10月30日晚上，台灣同志遊行前夕，一同參加台灣歷史上第二度的跨性別遊行，一起「鬥陣來去跨」；隔天偕同參加第十八屆台灣同志遊行「成人之美」，鬥陣向前行！
時間：10/30（五）19:00集合，19:30出發
地點：臺北市電影主題公園（台北市萬華區康定路19號）

2020 Taiwan Trans-March: Trans With Us
When to meet: 2020/10/30, 19:00
Where to meet: Taipei Cinema Park (No. 19, Kangding Rd., Wanhua Dist., Taipei City)
The 2nd Taiwan Trans-March is to take place at Ximending on the night before the 2020 Taiwan LGBT Pride. With the theme “Trans With Us,” this year’s Trans-March invites transgender people, who are not bound by the traditional gender norms, to “trans-together,” making us visible to the public. We’d also like to ask our LGB and straight friends to march on the street with us, creating a friendlier society.
*Dress code: please wear the colors #Pink, #Babyblue or #White (preferably in a single color), which are featured on the transgender flag, as we would ask every participant to join us in forming an image of the transgender flag for a photo shooting at the end of the March.
With a purchase of merchandise above a certain value on the day, there is a chance for you to win a bottle of Taihu Brewing’s featured beer #LoveHasNoLabel
By purchasing the designated merchandise, you can enjoy a discount for the Trans-March After Party hosted by #LockerRoom1
The idea behind Taiwan Trans-March
In 2019, the first Taiwan Trans-March took place on the night before the annual Taiwan LGBT Pride. From organizing the March to the day of the event, we noticed that many people either had no knowledge about the transgender community, or were not clear about the differences between transgender and homosexual. Meanwhile, transgender individuals still face much pressure caused by gender on various aspects in life (such as employment, use of toilet and school life). All of these show why a trans-march is needed in Taiwan.
“Transgender” does not simply refer to an individual identity, it also means to cross the rigid boundary of a traditional gender division. Therefore, anybody, regardless of how you identify your gender or which gender role and expression you choose for daily life, can be a part of the transgender community, as long as you stride across the mainstream social expectation of gender binary.
In 2020, Taiwan Tongzhi Hotline Association puts forward another Trans-March, with the theme “Trans With us,” the meanings behind which include:
1. The public should take a look and a stride.
In a gender-binary society, men are asked to behave like a man, while women like a woman. However, man and woman have more than one look, and no characteristic can be ascribed to only one single sex. Each of us shoulders a certain degree of social expectations associated with gender stereotypes, and yet all of us have also crossed some gender boundaries defined by the society. Facing the transgender community, the general public should take not only a closer look and but also a big stride: looking at the situation transgender people are in when fighting against the rigid gender rules, striding across the gap between oneself and the transgender community, and understanding that everyone faces the same binary gender restrictions. Everyone can be a part in the fight against gender stereotypes.
2. The transgender community should look and stride outside of our bubble.
The transgender community has many faces. However, not every transgender is capable of understanding the difficulties faced by another. Hotline believes that it is also valuable for transgender people to look outside of the community and look at others’ experiences, because every boundary-breaking attempt is important. We should also step out of our comfort zone and stand together with transgender individuals different from ourselves, interacting with the society and expressing our thoughts, so that more transgender-related issues can be seen.
3. LGB should march with the transgender community.
Within the transgender community, individuals also have different sexual orientations, such as homosexual, bisexual, heterosexual or asexual. All of them not only express support for the homosexual and bisexual movement, but even take part in it. Therefore, we hope that LGB can also step out to support the transgender movement, marching with the transgender community and breaking the fixed gender boundaries associated with sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.
We invite every LGBTI+ and straight person to join the 2nd Taiwan Trans-March on the evening of October 30th, 2020, the night before the annual Taiwan LGBT Pride, to “Trans With US,” and to head to the 18th Taiwan LGBT Pride “Beauty, My Own Way” together on the next day!
