"It's strange to be talking about trans visibility when I spent so much of my life trying to hide my transness, both from the world and myself.

"It's hard for trans people to show themselves because there's still so much risk involved.

"That's why International Transgender Day Of Visibility is so important.

"You're damn right I feel people should look at me and acknowledge what I had to go through because of how our society is constructed."

[In addition to being Holy Saturday for Western churches and the first full day of Passover, Saturday will also be the annual Transgender Day of Visibility.]

WOW! Thank you for letting me know this. While I'm cis-gendered, the fact that I'm six feet tall and will be going to a local science fiction convention wearing a BRIGHT red velvet ankle-length wrap dress, might raise some eyebrows. Won't that be FUN? :)
