NGLCC Transgender Day of Visibility Program: The Joys & Sacrifices of Visibility

Description

Join the NGLCC’s Transgender & Gender Expansive Initiative (TGX) and Plexus for our celebration of Transgender Day of Visibility! TDOV is "a day where
people could celebrate the lives of transgender people, while still acknowledging that due to
discrimination, not every trans person can or wants to be visible" (GLAAD).
A discussion of this bittersweet day brings our community together, allowing us the space to
share our joys and pride while recognizing the sacrifices we make by coming out and remaining
visible. Visibility means opportunities to connect, engage, and inspire. It also can feel
threatening, and full of fear and loss. When we come together to share our experiences, we
grow together. Participants will leave our discussion with feelings of strength, solidarity,
progress, and pride.
