The Transgender Day of Visibility celebrates the lives, achievements, and resilience of transgender people. Founded in 2009, the day was created to offer a positive counterpoint to narratives focused only on violence and marginalization. The day is about being seen: affirming that transgender people exist, belong, and deserve respect in every part of life.

Unfortunately the news we can share with you today are not all of the positive type. Quite the opposite actually. This is why it is so important to remember all the love we get in the community as well as from all the cis people who understand what being human really is about.

«Today is Trans Day of Visibility.

Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehí to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.

Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.

We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.»

By leading every story with “trans ban,” coverage is taking a situation that affects other women and jamming it into a culture-war frame that doesn’t really fit.

When three transgender women attended Perth Magistrate’s Court on Thursday 26 March court security allegedly told them they should not use the women’s bathroom.

“Groups that formed around shared outrage slowly turned that energy inward. The gatekeeping crept in. The purity tests started. People who did not use the right words or did not share the exact same lived experience were pushed out.”
