Transgender people and allies across Southern California will celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility this weekend, a time when trans, nonbinary and gender nonconforming people around the world can embrace their visibility and share their experiences.
“Seeing other trans people throughout art, culture, politics and protest is important to facilitate that feeling of not being so alone,” Hughes said. “It’s being able to believe you, too, can accomplish and not be hindered by the fear of not being accepted. It’s to shed light on our struggles to those who may not understand.”
“That never felt like who I was,” he said. “I was trans, and I was proud of that, and I didn’t want to hide that from anybody. I shared my story on YouTube and was able to use social media to encourage others to feel good about themselves.” “Trans clients are in such a delicate state because they’re usually newly coming out, don’t have the adequate support, or are scared that they won’t get the support that they need,” Collard, 28, said. “So it’s really important to prioritize their care because they really are just looking for a safe place to just say ‘This is who I am. Do you see me?’”
