Held each year on March 31, Transgender Day of Visibility (TDoV) celebrates the lives and accomplishments of transgender and nonbinary people. Trans advocate Rachel Crandall founded TDoV in 2010 because stories in the media about transgender and nonbinary people so often focus only on violence.
As legislation across the country continues to target and discriminate against transgender and nonbinary people (particularly youth), celebrating transgender and nonbinary people is both an act of solidarity and self-care.
