Transgender Day of Visibility

Today's International Transgender Day of Visibility. Started last year as a movement on Facebook, the goal of today is to increase visibility and celebrate transgender identity:

    "I went on Facebook and I was thinking... whenever I hear about our community, it seems to be from Remembrance Day which is always so negative because it's about people who were killed," [Rachel] Crandall, who heads up Transgender Michigan, recalled. "So one night I couldn't sleep and I decided why don't I try to do something about that.

    "I thought, 'why doesn't someone do it?' Then I thought, 'why isn't that someone me?'" -PrideSource
