Today is #TransDayOfVisibility! 🏳️‍⚧️

Today, we honor the trans student leaders, staff, chapter members, educators, and supporters. We also uplift those who cannot be visible because of safety and those navigating safety because they are visible.

[GLSEN Austin @GLSENAustin]

Visibility is complex for many #trans folks. Being visible on one hand can mean celebration and representation; while on the other, it can mean becoming targets of transphobic violence and discrimination.

My son’s new 5th grade teacher just sent the class an intro email and included her pronouns in her auto-signature.

Covid or not, I think this is going to be a good year. ❤️
