Just saw a #TDOV post that used "AI art" to depict a fantasy bigender person. I've also seen a lot of posts by non-trans people that center the poster instead of trans people.
You know what helps me feel welcomed and supported when I'm visible? Not so much the vague "I see you!" statements, and not fantasy or stock trans people, but people posting in support of specific trans people in their lives who have chosen to be visible.
Pet Door Show Trans Day of Visibility Special is on the air right now on https://www.shadypinesradio.com/ !!
Featuring some of my favorite new tracks by independent & underplayed trans & non-binary artists and their bands, in celebration of #tdov
Trans Day of Visibility at the Museum of Liverpool - It was a joy to spend the weekend at the Museum of Liverpool documenting the TDOV (Trans Day of Visibility) events for National Museums Liverpool. Trans joy from floor to ceiling. Writing, artwork, poetry, music and interesting talks. The event was wonderfully put together by Spirit Level.
Those in Boorloo (Perth) Western Australia, please come along to our film screening this Saturday at 7pm of Desire Lines.
"An Iranian-American transman, Ahmad, searching for his place in history, finds more than a just link to the past in the archives. Drawing from first-person accounts, as well as fictionalized segments, filmmaker Jules Rosskam explores the lines of desire as they intersect with identity for many transmen.
Join us for a screening of Desire Lines. Followed Q&A featuring Nova Sobieralski senate candidate with the socialist alliance."

Eleven times the #trans community made history and did incredible things in the past year #tdov https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/03/31/trans-day-of-visibility-2025/
Is #TDOV scheduled for the day before April Fools so all the people who came out can go back in and claim it was just a prank if it went really badly?
REVOLUTIONARY LETTER #8
*by Diane di Prima*
Everytime you pick the spot for a be-in
a demonstration, a march, a rally, you are choosing the ground
for a potential battle.
You are still calling these shots.
Pick your terrain with that in mind.
Remember the old gang rules:
stick to your neighborhood, don’t let them lure you
to Central Park everytime, I would hate
to stumble bloody out of that park to find help:
Central Park West, or Fifth Avenue, which
would you choose?
//
go to love-ins
with incense, flowers, food, and a plastic bag
with a damp cloth in it, for tear gas, wear no jewelry
wear clothes you can move in easily, wear no glasses
contact lenses
earrings for pierced ears are especially hazardous
//
try to be clear
in front, what you will do if it comes
to trouble
if you’re going to try to split stay out of the center
don’t stampede or panic others
don’t waver between active and passive resistance
know your limitations, bear contempt
neither for yourself, nor any of your brothers
//
NO ONE WAY WORKS, it will take all of us
shoving at the thing from all sides
to bring it down.
A bit late for Trans day of visibility that year, I won't say much as only an ally - just wanted to say, you are not only seen, you are cared, and fought for. LGBTQ can never work without the TQ. Trans rights are human rights! #tdov #tdov2025 #TransDayOfVisiblity
it’s really weird to see #TransDayOfVisibility become this massive thing and to have governors officially recognizing it as a holiday.
I remember when #TDoV at my college campus was me and two other people sitting at a table in front of the student union answering people’s questions.
Now look at it. Look at what we’ve accomplished.
Having fun preparing the feedback form for tomorrow. I know, 2 days late, but still…
I'm a little late posting this for #tdov #TransDayOfVisibility but at a time were #Trans people are being erased & maligned across the world, everyone needs to support Trans people & their rights
It's important to recognise that trans women are women, trans men are men & everyone is valid regardless of their gender or orientation
It is difficult to come out, remain safe & get the care you need so we should be standing with those able to be visible for the sake of those who currently cannot be
my new piece for @assignedmedia.org covering the @transupfrontil.bsky.social #tdov rally in Chicago is now up
give it a look, support queer writin', and share with your friends <3 happy #transdayofvisibility y'all

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
