INTERNATIONAL TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY
IGLTA is proud to join in the celebration of International Transgender Day of Visibility this upcoming March 31 and to support those who are pushing for greater acceptance, recognition and rights. Founded in 2009 by Michigan-based Rachel Crandall to highlight the accomplishments of transgender people and combat negative press surrounding trans violence, TDOV serves to uplift all those who identify with a gender other than that assigned at birth and create awareness for discrimination issues still facing many today. It serves as an empowering reminder that we must continue to strive to eliminate discrimination against trans people throughout society – paving the way for global equal rights!
