March 31st is Transgender Day of Visibility (TDoV), a day to show your support for the trans community. It aims to bring attention to the accomplishments of trans people around the globe while fighting cissexism and transphobia by spreading knowledge of the trans community.

Unlike Transgender Day of Remembrance, this is not a day for mourning: this is a day to get the empowerment and recognition that trans people deserve!

Rachel Crandall, the head of Transgender Michigan, created in TDoV in 2010 to celebrate the trans community in a positive light.

There are many ways you can celebrate this day. Some places hold live events, such as readings or appearances by trans speakers, others host parties celebrating trans people.

You can use this day to write to your congressperson, asking them to support non-discrimination ordinances.

All trans people face discrimination and oppression in so many areas of society, so make sure to let the trans people in your life that you love and support them.
