📌 More about Transgender Day of Visibility 📌 

It's Transgender day of Visiblity every year on the 31st March.

This annual observance celebrates the accomplishments and contributions of transgender and gender non-conforming people, while also recognizing the diversity of transgender identities and supporting the transgender community.

The day was founded by transgender activist Rachel Crandall in response to the lack of visibility for transgender people and the violence and discrimination they face.
