Hello Everybody,
Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility
TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY
https://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.
Check out our TDOV Social Toolkit for suggested messages and
downloadable graphics to share! And then see our resources below.
