This year's Trans Day of Visibility reflects heightened fears for the trans community, exacerbated by the current administration's harmful policies. Many trans individuals face forced outing on documentation, job losses, and other systemic discrimination. The need for supportive allies is emphasized, with calls for public solidarity and conversations that may be uncomfortable but essential for progress. With the stakes at an all-time high, active defense of trans rights is crucial in these turbulent times, as demonstrated by Congress resisting anti-trans measures.
This year's Trans Day of Visibility hits differently than in years past. This is a frightening time for trans people.
They're requiring our forced outing on several identity documents. They're summarily firing qualified federal workers who are disproportionately LGBTQ, Black, women, and veterans.
The stakes couldn't be higher and, because of that, we need allies now more than ever before.
Those conversations, sometimes uncomfortable, can lead to critical solidarity precisely when we need it most.
