In celebration of Gender Justice League’s 10-year anniversary, this blog post is part of a series called Ten Years of Gender Justice, a commemoration of some of the key players throughout GJL’s history. Throughout this series, we’ll highlight a few of the collaborators, organizers, and activists who have worked within or alongside GJL to make strides in advancing gender justice in Washington State and beyond.
TPS, now celebrating its 10th anniversary, is produced by the Gender Justice League. Founded in 2012, the organization focuses on “elevating the rights of the Trans and gender-diverse communities in Washington State and beyond.” For a decade, TPS has been “celebrating Trans joy, life, and love.”
Thousands celebrated Pride at various events throughout the weekend in the Seattle area.

“I Just Remember That First Year and I’m So Proud. I Can’t Even Describe the Amount of Joy and Gratitude—I Was So Grateful.”
