It’s Trans Day of Visibility — and as a trans person, I’m thinking about what that means in this moment.

Yes, it’s about being seen, but it’s also about being heard — about taking up space, sharing joy, and telling the truth about our lives. It’s about honoring how far we’ve come, while still naming the systems that try to erase or silence us.

This past year has been brutal. Over 670 anti-trans bills introduced. Federal executive orders stripping away rights. Healthcare under attack. Safety in public questioned. And still — we show up. We fight back. We take care of each other. We celebrate each other. We keep building, even when the world tries to tear us down.

I’ve seen trans joy in art, in resistance, in everyday community. I’ve seen it in people organizing, in youth demanding more, and in those of us who are just surviving — which is its own kind of resistance, too.

Visibility isn’t the end goal — liberation is. But today, I’m holding space for both: for how powerful it is to be seen, and how necessary it is to keep pushing for a world where trans people are not just visible, but safe, supported, and free.

If you’re cis and wondering what to do — start with listening. Learn. Show up. Speak out when it counts. Support trans-led orgs. Vote like our lives depend on it — because they do.

And to my trans and non-binary fam: I see you. I love you. You’re not alone in this.

Heute morgen waren wir zum trans* Day of Visibility vorm Städtischen Krankenhaus. Wir wollen damit Sichtbarkeit für trans* Menschen in Krankenhäusern generieren, weshalb wir vor dem Eingang geflyert und uns mit Transpi und Flagge auf das Dach gestellt haben.

Wir wurden schnell vom Dach runter geholt, aber durften weiter vor Ort flyern. Dabei wurden überwiegend gute Gespräche geführt. Auch Pflegekräfte freuten sich über unser Dasein und bestätigten uns, dass die Verhältnisse für trans* Menschen im städtischen Krankenhaus sehr schlecht sind, denn das System kennt nur männlich und weiblich, kein divers, dazwischen, daneben oder außerhalb. Es kann nicht sein, dass sich trans* Menschen im Jahr 2025 noch immer fragen, „Wo sollen wir hin?“, immernoch täglicher Diskriminierung im Gesundheitssystem ausgesetzt sind, für geschlechtsangleichende Maßnahmen noch immer lange Wartezeiten haben und sehr weite Wege auf sich nehmen müssen.

Hi, I'm a #nonbinary indie #GameDev . I don't talk about this very much because it's not generally relevant to my work, but I like to point out from time to time that LGBT+ developers make games in every size, genre, and theme. The gaming press loves to put a spotlight on overtly queer-themed games every June, but queer developers making other sorts of games don't interest them nearly as much.
