Today is the Transgender Day of Visibility, the March 31 day in which every year we celebrate living trans folks and how awesome we are.
And it couldn't have come at a better time considered the haters we have arrayed against us from the TERF to white fundies to the Republican Party.
TDOV is the flip side of the November 20 Transgender Day of Remembrance which is a memorial to the people we've lost to anti-trans violence.
TDOV is a day in which allies get to show their support for the trans community. It's a day in which we draw attention to the accomplishments of trans people here and across the world
TDOV is also the day in which we in conjunction with our allies raise our personal and community visibility
And TDOV can also be a day, as Geena Rocero did in 2014, use as the day to not only come out as trans, but release her viral TED Talk video to the world explaining why she did so.
So Happy TDOV!
Make Trump, Mike Pence, Potty Dan Patrick the TERF's, Republican Party and other fundies mad by not cowering to their attempts to oppress us, but instead give it the middle finger.
TDOV is a day in which we can get started with the process of not only building community, but helping us build community so that we can make the world better for all transkind.
