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

URGENT please help my trans friend survive under U.S. fascism.

25/$400 needed ASAP

Wren is a graphic designer that finally escaped the transphobic town they were trapped in thanks to your help. their housing voucher from their last place hasn't transferred yet, so they borrowed money from a friend to cover rent this month but need to pay them back. please help!

I missed posting this yesterday.

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

octo got nothing on #TransDayOfVisibility but a report on her first mutual aid post she managed to make in an entire month. it's clear how badly people would rather her dead. octo is in debt from not meeting the last 3 months goals. she can't afford to eat & is battling suicidal ideation. she wants to live & escape abuse. there's nothing wrong with needing support in a society that murders people like her. please give her the flowers she deserves.

$1590/2743 OVERDUE

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

yeah je suis redevenu invisible!

(ceci est une joke, cf le TDoV hier), non je vais pas me cacher)

mon identité n'est pas une blague

this one can have a Trans Day of Invisiblity, as a treat

A closing thought for #TDoV / #TransDayOfVisibility, on the less joyful side

Even among the people who love us, sometimes it feels like we can only exist in one of two states:

• highly fetishized dehumanized sexual objects
• sexless, sexuality-less, romanceless entities from beyond

and that sucks
