Overview

  • Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) on March 31 honors the resilience and contributions of transgender and nonbinary individuals globally.
  • The 2025 observance includes rallies and protests across the U.S., responding to over 450 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in state legislatures this year.
  • Recent executive orders from President Donald Trump, including one recognizing only two sexes and another impacting transgender military service, have intensified advocacy efforts.
  • Advocates emphasize the importance of sustained allyship and education year-round to combat discrimination and violence faced by the transgender community.
  • TDOV contrasts with the Transgender Day of Remembrance by focusing on celebration and visibility rather than mourning.
