Transgender Day of Visibility



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 31^st  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…
