March 31st marks International Transgender Day of Visibility.

I am a trans/non-binary person. And yet I pass as a male. I largely feel invisible. Even when I come out, I still get ignored. I’ve griped about this before, but I really don’t feel like I can anymore.

l am privileged in that I am white. I still get to “pass” as a guy, even when I don’t want to. Not every Trans person has the option to do so. I have enough of this privelege to try and shout out folx who really need help. I am always learning of more and more organizations and individuals that need life-saving medications and surgeries.

Just because President Joe Biden says he sees us, doesn’t mean everything is alright. Plenty of us still have to fight for our right to live. Here is a link tree from a friend’s Instagram. I’m going to look through this list and see if I can donate to someone or some organization.

There are still anti-Transgender bills in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee, among other states. We are not the greatest country. If we can’t get rights for everyone, then none of us have rights.
