Transgender Parent Day is celebrated each year on the first Sunday of November to honour and recognize transgender parents and parents of transgender children. In 2025, Transgender Parent Day will be observed on Sunday, November 2.

First established in 2009, Transgender Parent Day serves as an opportunity to celebrate transgender parents who may feel excluded from traditional parent celebrations such as Mother’s and Father’s Days. Transgender Parent Day brings awareness to the experiences of transgender parents, as well as their courage and resilience.

Transgender Parent Day also highlights the importance of advocacy and inclusion. Transgender parents often face unique challenges, including discrimination within the healthcare system, and a lack of tailored support systems. Recognising these realities reminds us that inclusive practices—in healthcare and beyond—can help to ensure that all parents feel seen, supported, and respected.
