International Transgender Day of Visibility

The Gender Unicorn is here to help us celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility! But before we meet the Gender Unicorn, let's hear what the Human Rights Campaign has to say about this important day, observed every March 31st:

"Transgender people come from all walks of life. We are your coworkers, family and neighbors. We are 7-year-old children and we are 70-year-old grandparents. We are a diverse community representing all racial and ethnic backgrounds, as well as faith backgrounds.

International Transgender Day of Visibility is honored every year on March 31 and is a time to celebrate transgender people around the globe and the courage it takes to live openly and authentically, while also raising awareness around the discrimination trans people still face."
