Post a Comment On: TransGriot

[Image]I've talked about the IFGE Trinity Awards in numerous TransGriot posts and winning my own on more than a few occasions.

Some of you may be asking yourselves, 'What's a Trinity Award?'

Since 1991 the Trinity Award has been sponsored by the US based International Foundation For Gender Education (IFGE). The Trinity Award acknowledges heroes and heroines of the transgender community and is given to the recipients at an awards luncheon during the annual IFGE convention.

The eligibility rules for this award are inclusive. Transpeople and our allies are eligible to receive it and can be any living individual or couple.

[Image]The goal of IFGE is to look for or highlight little known or unacknowledged people who have done something extraordinary. It is also one of the highest awards the US trans community gives for service to it along with the Virginia Prince Award.

The Trinity recipients are in the words of the criteria statement for the award, people who have preformed extraordinary acts of love and courage for our community.

And some of those Trinity recipients are still making major contributions to the trans community and have gone on to win Virginia Princes.

Now that you have a little background into what the Trinity Award is, here's a current list of the people who have won it.
