San Francisco Trans March

In recent years, the event has begun at Mission Dolores Park (the same staging and performance area as the Dyke March), and has ended in the Tenderloin, near the location of the Compton's Cafeteria Riot.

[5][1] In 2008 Donna Rose, who had resigned from national LGBT advocacy group Human Rights Campaign after the organization supported a version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act that did not include gender identity, was one of many featured speakers.

"[6] Protesters also objected to the current workgroup appointed by the American Psychiatric Association to revise the gender and sexuality sections of the DSM as it included Kenneth Zucker, "known for his gender-conforming therapies in children", and Ray Blanchard, whose theory of autogynephilia "claims that some people transition because they are aroused by female clothing.

[6] In 2009 the now ten-person coordinating committee elected to forgo the Castro gay neighborhood and instead march through the predominantly Latino Mission District.

[3][9][10] In 2017, the march concluded with an announcement that the area at Turk and Taylor in the Tenderloin had been designated a Transgender Cultural District by the City of San Francisco.

[11] In 2019, San Francisco Mayor London Breed held a press conference with the Office of Transgender Initiatives prior to the march.
