In response to increasing attacks on transgender communities in the United States, the Hawai‘i Department of Health recently released its statement on Transgender Rights and Public Health. In alignment with the department's mission, the statement denounces discrimination, including transphobia and transphobic action, which is recognized as a threat to public health. It also mentions Dr. Diana Felton, chief of the Communicable Disease and Public Health Nursing Branch, who values the role of gender-diverse people in traditional Hawaiian culture. Hawai‘i Department of Health staff also participated in the recent Honolulu Pride parade and festival to support the LGBTQ+ community and promote public health. #Queer Up Health
