  1. #TransDayOfVisibility is complex: - For young or closeted trans people, it is important to see we’re not alone, and we have options. Hi, you are beautiful. Reach out if you need anything.

      - For cis folx, it’s important to understand that we’re real. we exist, in quite large numbers, and we’d like to be treated with respect. If you’re a friend of mine, you get that. Hellloooooooo.

        - For many of us already out, visibility is dangerous, and we feel *too visible* every day. We’d really love a Trans Day of Blending In, please. Today feels extra vulnerable, and requires emotional labor - putting ourselves out there.

          Trans/Enby folx: Take care of yourselves. You don’t owe the world more visibility. Cis folx: Please help us move beyond “visibility” into safety, equality, justice, and respect.
