Hello Everybody,

"Transgender people are some of the bravest Americans I know, and
our nation and the world are stronger, more vibrant, and mre prosperous
because of them." ~President Joe Biden, March 18, 2023

These are words spoken by a practicing Catholic. One who happens to
be the elected President of the United States. Whether one is religious
or non-religious, the meaning is clear to all. So why would anybody
want to object? What is it that some misguided souls find "repulsive"
or "objectionable" about those who are trans?

Today [March 31] is International Transgender Day of Visibility.
A day that should be celebrated by all, everywhere around this planet.
As well as by those aboard the International Space Station.

TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY

The International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) is an annual day
of recognition, celebrated around the world on March 31st, which is
dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments and victories of
transgender and gender-expansive people, while simultaneously raising
awareness of the work that is still needed to combat discrimination
and violence.

TDOV was founded in 2009 by US-based transgender activist Rachel
Crandall, a licensed psychotherapist and the Executive Director of
Transgender Michigan, both in reaction to the lack of LGBTQ+ days of
recognition for the successes achieved by trans people, as well as the
frustration that the only well-known transgender-centered day of
recognition was the Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR). TDOV is a
much-needed day of empowerment, celebrating the lives and achievements
of our transgender and gender-expansive loved ones.

As trans allies, we need always hold space for our trans loved ones,
and recognize their many accomplishments. #TDOV is only one day out
of 365 that gives allies the chance to uplift and celebrate our trans
loved ones.
