TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITYhttps://pflag.org/transgender-day-of-visibility/
The International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) is an annual day of recognition, celebrated around the world on March 31st, which is dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments and victories of transgender and gender-expansive people, while simultaneously raising awareness of the work that is still needed to combat discrimination and violence.
TDOV was founded in 2009 by US-based transgender activist Rachel Crandall, a licensed psychotherapist and the Executive Director of Transgender Michigan, both in reaction to the lack of LGBTQ+ days of recognition for the successes achieved by trans people, as well as the frustration that the only well-known transgender-centered day of recognition was the Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR). TDOV is a much-needed day of empowerment, celebrating the lives and achievements of our transgender and gender-expansive loved ones.
As trans allies, we need always hold space for our trans loved ones, and recognize their many accomplishments. #TDOV is only one day out of 365 that gives allies the chance to uplift and celebrate our trans loved ones.

(159,372 posts)at work when a coworker kept calling HR each morning to loudly complain about a person-in-transition's "behavior" in the bathroom, I grabbed the phone out of her hand and slammed it down and told her, I'm calling HR on YOU because YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE having a problem with that gal's "behavior" - and I DID cAll - yes INDEED (turns out HR was already on to her bigotry)

(9,597 posts)It has been my number 1 issue for decades now.
Honestly, I have been wishing that I had born female since I was Eleven. I dont know if that makes a type of trans person myself or just a passionate ally but I am determined to support the trans community despite this tsunami of hate that has engulfed the country.
So long as I draw breath I will support you all!!! Transfemme, Transmasc, Enby, and everyone in between!
