Transgender day of Visibility
is normally shortened to TDOV when it is written down so if you see TDOV
you will know what it is standing for.
TDOV is a day to show your support for the transgender
community.
The general aim is to bring attention to the
accomplishments of transgender people around the globe while fighting cissexism
and transphobia by spreading knowledge of the transgender community. Unlike
Transgender Day of Remembrance, this is not a day for mourning: this is a day
of empowerment. Therefore, I hear readers saying when is the day well it’s on March
31st every year!
You can find it all over the place there are
Facebook posts about it and look out for the hashtag #tdov on social media.
This year’s theme is more than visibility
(#MoreThanVisibility) this recognizes that while visibility is important, we
must take direct action against transphobia around the world.
Visibility is not enough alone to bring transgender
liberation. Some people experience violence due to their visibility and some
others do not want to be visible. However, we can use visibility as a vital
tool for transgender justice.
So on the 31st March, please discuss and talk
about transgender on your social media posts and join in if there is any
activity happening in your area, Transgender people are normal people just like
your brother or sister, Mom or Dad they are not monsters or strange just people who need
love like everybody else.
P.S.
I love hugs… so if
you see me give me a big hug it will make my day for sure…
