"2015 has been a good year for transgender people and the push for recognition and equality. President Obama and Vice-President Biden have made great efforts to support the transgender community by including legislation that is directly beneficial to the rights of transgender people in the United States. The world have been made aware of who we are and that we come from all walks of life. I believe recognition is the biggest step for transgender people. Visibility is important so that the young people can see people who are just like them. We have Caitlyn Jenner, Angelica Ross, Janet Mock, Chaz Bono, Laverne Cox, Candis Cayne and Dr. Marci Bowers representing trans people wonderfully in all different venues."
