International Transgender Day of Visibility 2021!
Today, March 31st, is the international trans day of visibility. a day for our beloved trans men and women to be seen, and heard! it's a really important day for them today, and i wanted to say how proud i am to see that you are as well slowly being seen and understood more! you deserve it, after all 🥰
for this day, i'd also like to add something a bit more educational, as well;
what does the term 'transgender' mean?
transgender, is a term that can both be a specific and an umbrella term. In general, relates to people whose gender identity does not match what was assigned to them at birth. In specific usage, it can refer to people who identify as a binary gender which is different from what they were assigned to, such as male-to-female and female-to-male. Trans individuals may or may not undergo physical transition. (thanks a lot to @TaranWanderer for giving this amazing explanation!
A few questions I'd like to leave here for this day;
do you have any friend that is part of the trans community?
in what ways do you show them your support for them and their community?

yay! Happy transgender visibility day!
do you have any friend that is part of the trans community? in what ways do you show them your support for them and their community?
i do *~^
for us it's usually silent super long hugs, without a need to explain anything or fear anything...
but to be more specific,
she seems not to feel comfortable correcting people on pronouns or when they use her dead name, so i take on that job whenever i can, in spaces that she's closeted or have transphobic environments i just try to stay there and not let her face it alone, just holding a hand can be the needed reassurance when you are facing that, to know you are loved, you are not alone and also most of all it's our code to remind whenever you need an out from here, or a break, let me know...
and this part is not about her, i try my best to spread awarness on all parts of queer community...
@KateDoskocilova
wow ima trans girl and didn't even know about this day. anyways i know now so..
and thanks. im new in the forums right now
Not really friends but I have a transgender grandma, a non-binary younger sibling, and a non-binary kid who calls me and my partner their parents (lol). I always make sure to use the correct name and pronouns for them and correct others if they slip up. I also stick up for them when others decide to be pricks. I also make sure they know that I won’t out them to anyone and if they ever need anything I’m here for them. I also post resources and informative posts on my Instagram to help educate others! I’m also trans myself just closeted,,,😅
The day has passed but I thought this was a cool graphic!

Happy transgender visibility day to all. Warm wishes from me to you. Enjoy the day
