The 27-year-old star wrote on her socials: “Right now, trans people are under attack across the country.
“We need to show the trans community that they are loved and supported.”
The 'Positions' singer also mentioned the frightening numbers concerning legislations which are hindering equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community in the United States.
“36 states have introduced more than 100 bills that aim to curb the rights of transgender people.”
What is transanta?
transanta is an initiative founded by actor Indya Moore that allows users to anonymously donate gifts to transgender youths.
Indya, who is transgender and identifies as non-binary, launched the cause in December 2020.
When announcing the project the star wrote on Instagram: "My friends and I want to make sure that trans kids feel like they are a gift to this world because they are.
“Acceptance and love are gifts we deserve all year.”
The transanta Instagram page also announced their collaboration with Ariana, stating that her generous donation is doing a world of good within the community.
We hope Ari's fans follow her example and get involved with this significant cause in any way that they can!
