<\/span>2. Educate Yourself About Transgender History<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTransgender Day of Visibility is a day to celebrate the existence of trans people. There have been many transgender people throughout history, but due to prejudice, many times their stories are not told. By learning about these amazing people, we remember them the way they wanted to be remembered and honor the lives that they lived. Find some books on transgender people throughout history, or listen to a podcast or Ted Talk that discusses them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t just educate yourself about these amazing individuals, take some time to educate other people as well. Sharing their stories is a great way to spread trans visibility and to help other people see that being trans is not a new phenomenon, they have been present all throughout history. On a day like this, it\u2019s important to recognize the people who came before us and allowed our generation to have a day like this to celebrate publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TDOV is a great opportunity to support trans people in your area, and one of the best ways to do that is to support businesses owned by trans individuals. If you don\u2019t have trans-owned businesses near you, you can always shop online and support businesses that way. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you shopped at a trans-owned business and enjoyed your experience, be sure to share your experience with others and leave a positive review! You should also consider donating to a transgender organization. There are many reputable transgender organizations and non-profits that are great options to donate to. Do some research and find an organization you want to support on Transgender Day of Visibility!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are unable to support a trans-owned business or organization monetarily, don\u2019t worry! You can still give these businesses and organizations recognition by publicizing them. You can make a post on social media highlighting what a great brand they are and give them some publicity. This is a great way to support organizations and businesses if you are unable to give monetarily!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Learn About the Barriers Transgender People Face<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are many things that transgender folks face on a daily basis that makes their life difficult. Trans people face discrimination in many areas of their life. They can experience discrimination in their workplace, home life, and in the general public. They may have difficulty making friends or finding romantic relationships. Trans folks have to decide every day whether or not they want to be passing (when people assume that they are cisgender and not transgender) or if they want to come out as trans to certain people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are other areas in which trans folks can be discriminated against such as with healthcare, in the military, at school, and in sports. There are thousands of issues that trans individuals face that cisgender people may never know about. Take the time to learn about some of these issues and make sure that you are being an ally in every area possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
