The end of March marks the arrival of a vital holiday for trans people and their allies.
Each year brings around International Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV), an annual event that’s only recently started to garner widespread attention. Unfortunately, that attention is far too often spurred by hateful rhetoric and bigoted public figures, which leaves many people misinformed about what the holiday actually stands for. A certain subset of people are working hard to erase trans people in any light that isn’t starkly negative, and paint the entire community as “mentally ill” or somehow misguided, rather than acknowledging and respecting the many incredible things trans people have done worldwide.
