“Trans Day of Visibility is a time to celebrate folks who are trans, non-binary, and intersex, as well as a time to encourage more positive representation of those same folks in the media. Often, rising visibility comes at cost to the community, where we become more susceptible to hate and violence, especially those of us who identify as people of color. It is so crucial to remember to uplift, spotlight, and celebrate transgender, non-binary, and intersex folks and their achievements. The articles listed below share stories from trans authors and the larger community.”
