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)^[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.]; 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.

What's the hrtcafe thing did something happen?
Tabloids in the Anglosphere ran a campaign scaring people that children could buy sex changing hormones over the internet without a doctor.
HRT cafe is down (still on the way back machine) but many HRT websites have gone dark for unclear time periods defensively. Like panacea pharmacy which for Australians was the best DIY as didn't have to go through customs and potentially get seized.
Ah that fucking sucks, death to tabloids

So I didn't see this until now but earlier today I was arguing with a TERF boomer on Facebook (I know silly but it was in a niche lesbian group I visit) and I said this in response to them calling trans women a new phenomena in western schools.
