International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDoV) is a day for celebrating the lives of transgender people, recognizing the contributions we make to society and rallying against the discrimination we face. TDoV also functions as a counterpart to the International Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR)[1]; with TDoR being a somber occasion and TDoV having a more celebratory nature.
For this week, in observation of TDoV, I invite you all, the posters in our community to write a little bit about the celebration of trans lives.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

TDoR is observed on November 20th and memorializes those of us who’s lives were stolen by transphobic violence, particularly trans women of color. TDoR was initially founded in 1999 in remembrance of Rita Hester, Chanelle Pickett, and Monique Thomas, three black trans women who were murdered in the Boston area. ↩︎
Nobody ever says anything to me except “wow ur so tall”
Everywhere I go! I can’t go two days without someone yapping about it.
“HoW tAlL aRe YoU?” being an acceptable way of greeting me for the first time is wild. I hate it. Like, I dont even get catcalled really, just people see me and ask me how tall I am
This happened to me at a bar last night and a few weeks ago literally walking down the street
Happened while I was walking to my workplace last week. Shitsucks. Yes random man, I am at your beck and call :eyeroll:
Im very tall so chances are youre shorter than me. So enjoy some headpats from me short stuff
I’m 6’4"
Cool 😎
Im 6’4.25" anyone taller than me is tall anyone shorter is short. Ergo, you are short
tall people are handsome so it must be a compliment
Yeah but it’s the same compliment everywhere I go and it never leads to anything. If they want my attention they should tell me they want to take me home, [redacted], and [redacted] me on their [redacted].
dont we all
And also I’m really uncomfortable with my height
well at least height is not gendered right?
:/
I suggest
