On Trans Day of Visibility, we celebrate and honour the trans and non-binary communities around the world. Visibility is a complex thing. For trans women of colour, visibility can increase the violence aimed at them. For trans people with a public profile, it can lead to online abuse. But visibility can be positive. Visibility of our community matters, because we matter. In the last year, hundreds of positive examples of the power of trans visibility were published.
Here are some of PinkNews’ favourites.
