In 2014, thanks to the leadership of the transcommunity, San Francisco became the first city to offer publicly funded transition related surgery access which continues today under the gender health sf program.

This work and the work ahead is only possible because of the amazing trans leaders that we are fortunate to have here in San Francisco, many of whom are here today. I look forward to hearing from each of our honorees and recognizing them for their contributions to the city and county San Francisco. But first, i want to thank the office of transgender initiativ init
