Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31

By TransFamily NWPA

Internationally, on March 31st, people will celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility as a way to recognize the past, present, and future lives of transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming individuals.

At TransFamily NWPA, TDoV is:

"….a chance for cisgender people to understand that I am for the most part just like them. I have similar fears, joys, experiences, and needs. The only real difference is my innate sense of gender doesn't match the body I was given."
* Dana, BOD Advisor

"…an opportunity to have open dialogue so questions can be asked and information can be shared. I can take the years of education I've collected and share it with others. I truly believe this is the way to make the world a safer place for my child and others like them."
* Richelle, OG Board Member

"…a way for me to continue welcoming the truest expression of another wholeheartedly without hesitation or prejudice in hopes others are able to see just how capable they are of doing the same."
* Emily, BOD Secretary

Transgender Day of Visibility means something different to everyone. Some may use the day to affirm who they are to those around them. Some may use this day to affirm who they are to themselves. On Transgender Day of Visibility, many will need patience, compassion, and empathy. May it also be a day for everyone to demand the human rights of transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming people be honored and not debated.
