World Transgender Day of Visibility: Transgender people have become more visible in Asia, but is it enough? 🏳️‍⚧️🌏

Today, as we honor the International Transgender Day of Visibility, let us move towards understanding, acceptance, and unwavering support for our trans and non-binary queerblings. Within every facet of society, our Queerblings are becoming increasingly more visible, but visibility without adequate protection, recognition and understanding can leave them vulnerable to further discrimination and harm. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ ⚧

📢 Here are some ways to show solidarity and allyship:

✅ Educate Yourself

✅ Respect Names and Pronouns

✅ Foster Inclusive Conversations

✅ Challenge Gender Norms

🌈 And for our trans and non-binary queerblings, here’s a gentle reminder: Embrace your identity with pride, knowing that your existence enriches the fabric of our collective humanity. You can be trans and non-binary even if you have not or don’t want to:

☑️ Start Hormone Replacement Therapy

☑️ Have gender affirming surgeries (i.e. top surgery, bottom surgery, beard implants, etc.)

☑️ Be more cis-passing

☑️ Have more gender-normative expression

You are not defined by medical procedures or societal standards as gender exploration is a journey and a spectrum. Regardless of how far along you are on your journey, you are still valid as you are!
