Ok, shit’s bleak for #trans folks, especially in the UK tonight. But still. Today I saw the 1st version of the #zine my community made with @mappingtransjoy.org last month. It is so beautiful, so full of #Joy and love for our trans selves. Existing w/ joy IS resistance right now.

Be the #trans you want to see at the regularly scheduled municipal meeting.

I almost forgot to post this, and it's the perfect day for it.

Crime Writers for Trans Rights 2025 Silent auction 'Crime Writers for Trans Rights 2025' hosted online at 32auctions.

This #TDOV, I'm thinking about the difference that visibility means, and specifically about @amazonchique.bsky.social and @anotherelle.bsky.social, without whose visibility I don't know if I'd ever have seen myself.

Today isn't about showing ourselves to cis people. It's about seeing each other. <3

Be #trans

Be visible (if that’s safe for you)
