A White House statement says the day "recognizes the generations of struggle, activism, and courage that have brought our country closer to full equality for transgender and gender non-binary people in the United States and around the world," and calls upon all Americans to "join in the fight for full equality for all transgender people." As complicated as Trans Day of Visibility may be, know this: our liberation is beautiful.Transgender R&B performer Jackie Shane In 2021, President Joe Biden officially proclaimed March 31 as Transgender Day of Visibility. Trans liberation is woven into the colors and syllables of this art. We aimed to not just create images we don’t see enough, but to create in radically different ways, through collaborative processes that center trans people of color and value the labor of artists at every step. This art is part of national campaigns that Forward Together has nurtured over the past four years, like the Trans Day of Resilience art project and the Trans Life + Liberation series. Or as the group BreakOUT! says, “Give us our roses while we’re still here!” They emerged from our need to honor trans and nonbinary people of color in life, not only in memoriam.

We made these images as we grieved the murders of our sisters, fought to free our siblings from incarceration, and created cultural interventions in events like Pride and Trans Day of Remembrance. The art was created through relationships of support and solidarity, between trans and nonbinary artists and organizers on the frontline of our movement. This consensual and transformative visibility is possible, and it’s why we created and distributed nearly 300 Trans Justice Art Kits: images and poems sent to siblings across the country as a radical act of love and a firebrand of trans liberation. It must benefit our communities and serve the systemic redistribution of resources and power. Visibility must be grounded in consent and self-determination. And even when we choose it, individual visibility is not enough to radically transform the epic systems of anti-trans oppression and white supremacy that batter our lives. Being “visible” or “coming out” is not a choice or desire for many of us. Trans people of color, especially folks who aren’t passed as cis or don’t fit into the gender binary, experience a hypervisibility that includes more harassment, violence and criminalization.

We need more windows into this world, because before we can build something we must first imagine it.īut too often, “visibility” has been sold to us as a replacement for freedom. Seeing each other is necessary to create a world that treasures trans and nonbinary people of color. We are thirsty to see ourselves reflected as whole beings-this is crucial to loving and actualizing ourselves. So we hold Trans Day of Visibility with complexity. We have always used all our creativity, beauty and power to survive.
