Happy Transgender Day of Visibility to my trans brethren, both those visible and those still closeted for their safety. Sending my love to you all!

There’s lots of things you can do to help trans folks out today. Try donating to a trans-runorganization, read up on the history of transgender folk who helped to shape our world today, support trans artists and musicians by buying their art or music, help to educate others and yourself on transgender, intersex, and other gender-related shenanigans, remember not to out your trans friends and, most of all, support your transgender friends and peers!

today is transgender day of visibility, so a friendly important reminder to cis people, especially those who call themselves allies,

today is not a day for you to out your trans friends/acquaintances, because of “pride and visibility.” That’s not supportive, it’s dangerous. If you know someone is closeted, do not pressure them to post selfies or come out or whatever today. use the pronouns they need to use in public for their safety.

if you want to be supportive today, reblog selfies and information by people who are out and want their voices boosted. donate to trans charities and gofundmes/donation posts on here, if you’re in a monetary situation you can do so. check in on your trans/nb friends (privately) and see if they’re doing okay.

cis people can and are encouraged to reblog this for reference and to inform other cis people.
