I missed posting this yesterday.

octo got nothing on #TransDayOfVisibility but a report on her first mutual aid post she managed to make in an entire month. it's clear how badly people would rather her dead. octo is in debt from not meeting the last 3 months goals. she can't afford to eat & is battling suicidal ideation. she wants to live & escape abuse. there's nothing wrong with needing support in a society that murders people like her. please give her the flowers she deserves.

Last year during #TDOV , we (en.osm.town mods) had to suspend various accounts and some whole domains because of transphobia.

I jokingly said that I'm looking forward to tdov this year because the transphobes will come out of the woodwork again, easily spottable and bannable.... But this year we got no reports of transphobia during tdov.... Either people aren't reporting on our instance or ... we did actually ban most of the transphobes already? either way

Kopfschmerzbedingt bestand mein Trans day of visibility gestern nur daraus, dass ich bei der Lohnarbeit einen trans Pride Pin an der Mütze hatte und einen Pulli mit einem Aufdruck einer Blume und der Aufschrift "Be brave, be kind, be true, be you", alles in den Farben der trans Flagge. Übersetzt heißt der Aufdruck "Sei mutig, sei nett, sei echt, sei du"
Mir ist es wichtig, im Alltag als transfeminine Person sichtbar zu sein. Grade bei der Lohnarbeit bin ich viel im ländlichen Raum in Sachsen und Thüringen unterwegs. Hier bin ich für viele meiner Kund*innen wahrscheinlich die einzige trans Person, mit der sie zu tun haben. Und wenn sie durch mich merken, dass wir auch einfach nur Menschen sind, die ihr Leben leben wollen, und nicht so, wie wir in Comedy Serien und Filmen dargestellt werden, hilft das vielleicht, Transfeindlichkeit in der Gesellschaft abzubauen. Meiner Erfahrung nach kommt Transfeindlichkeit oft auch einfach durch Unwissenheit, schädliche Darstellung in den Medien und dadurch, dass es einfach das Unbekannte ist, womit eins im Alltag nichts zu tun hat.
Ich bin sichtbar und nehme auch alle Risiken und Gefahren bewusst in Kauf, damit es die nachfolgenden Generationen ein bisschen leichter haben

A closing thought for #TDoV / #TransDayOfVisibility, on the less joyful side

Even among the people who love us, sometimes it feels like we can only exist in one of two states:

• highly fetishized dehumanized sexual objects
• sexless, sexuality-less, romanceless entities from beyond

and that sucks

On this Transgender Day of Visibility, I want to say that I'm grateful for each of the transgender people who have touched my life. And I'm especially grateful for the ones who walk with me on life's journey. #TransgenderDayofVisibility #tdov

Trans day of visibility is the one day you are allowed to perceive us in our full glory. Look upon us trans people and WEEP. #TDOV

Sobbing happy tears this evening, in the wake of seeing all my fellow trans folks showing up as their beautiful selves, seeing so many cis allies speaking up today, having driven past multiple pro-trans signs on the way to the airport earlier, and having just wrapped up an evening of interviews of @petalumapride.org board candidates.

We are beautiful and I am full of hope for our collective future

on this #tdov show your support for the trans community by giving money to trans folks of color. here's a few mutual aid posts to start: https://weirder.earth/@thief/114258334187766341

#transdayofvisibility

seriously, we need more than just kind words. help people!

transitioning is both the hardest thing i’ve ever done and the most worthwhile, but i never even would have started if it wasn’t for all the beautiful transfems i saw online being the badass girls i wished that i could be

there’s lots of different kinds of visibility and lots of different ways to be seen, and i guess i just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came before me and could never really know who they were helping and how

you saved lives by living your own to the fullest

and i’ll do my best to keep the fires burning for whoever’s coming next, because i owe everything to this

Happy #TDOV ! I feel like I've grown so much in the last year. Thank you to all of the trans people before me who served as role models to say, "yes, we exist, and yes, it's possible for you too." Your example gave me the vocabulary, assurance, and encouragement to explore my own identity and discover myself.

And to all those coming next, you're seen! You can do this! Do what's right for you.

On this #TransDayOfVisibility, whether you're trans or genderqueer, know that y'all are loved, y'all are valid, and this dragon's got your back. Stay strong and stay proud!

Trans Day of Visibility?

When do we get Cis Day of Visibility!?!?
