Today is the annual Transgender Day of Visibility, a day to celebrate trans lives and trans people -- and to raise awareness of obstacles we still face.
"Without visibility, we feel isolated and alone; with it we feel part of something." -- Aimee Evelyn (AimeeEvelyn202), 2020-03-30
"As we can't celebrate it by being visible out in the real world [because of the pandemic], I hope as many trans people as possible film a video or add a selfie to the hashtag when it arrives." -- Joss Prior 'Cardie P' (joss_prior), 2020-03-29
In less positive news:
"BREAKING (BAD) NEWS: Governor Little has signed HB500 and HB509. Devastating. Targeting trans people. Hurting trans people. Why???" -- Chase Strangio (chasestrangio), 2020-03-30
"This is devastating, and it is particularly cruel that governorlittle signed these bills on the eve of Transgender Day of Visibility.
"But we won’t give up. We have to keep fighting for trans justice and to #ProtectTransYouth. We have not come this far to only come this far."
-- The Leadership Conference (civilrightsorg), 2020-03-20
