I'm headed out to be visible to my community in my own small way. Are you getting out today?

It's more or less a normal Sunday for me.  Finishing up homework and doing some grocery shopping.
As our ashes turn to dust, we shine like stars...

Same, normal quiet Sunday for me. But I'm loving scrolling thru social media and seeing all the beautiful people being visible for people like me who can't yet

I was at the theatre, helping to build a set for the next play.  I wore a pin in the trans flag colours just in case anyone was wondering.

I am pretty visible most days, so I need something like a pin or a pendant to up my visibility on special occasions.

Definitely out and visible!  I worked TDoV into my Call To Worship, and am one of the folks putting together the Trans Day of Visibility action locally (4PM, Civic Park, Walnut Creek, for those in the area.)

Wow!  Now that's a TDoV outfit!
If so, then why not?

I didn't realize it was TDoV until mid-afternoon so I did the best I could. I put on my most comfortable pair of women's leggings and went to Target with my daughter to buy makeup for the first time.

Pooped out of going to an event at a local LGBT center, but was out and about running errands this afternoon underdressed with a tunic top and a purse.  Maybe that kind of counts.

Hi LeiZak,

   Welcome!  And congratulations on making that first makeup purchase.


Chrissy
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

We had a small picnic with some trans friends and a large flag at a local park. Was fun.
Every day is a totally awesome day
Every day provides opportunities and challenges
Every challenge leads to an opportunity
Every fear faced leads to one more strength
Every strength leads to greater success
Success leads to self esteem
Self Esteem leads to happiness.
Cherish every day.

Thank you! I feel like it took an inordinate amount of time due to the fact that I felt completely lost, but I felt like I could be a tour guide for the makeup section by the time it was over. There was a very helpful Target employee in the vicinity but I didn't want to bother her too much.

Our event went very well.  Around 50 people turned out, and after several short speeches from trans folks and allies, we headed to the street corner to be visible to the suburban shoppers.
