Transgender Day of Visibility 2025
Standing with Our Trans Community:
Visibility, Support, and Action
As we close March and begin April 2025, we find ourselves at a crucial moment for transgender rights and visibility. While International Transgender Day of Visibility serves as a powerful reminder of trans joy, resilience, and accomplishments, it also highlights the ongoing challenges faced by our transgender community members.
A particularly pressing concern comes on April 1st, as California faces critical hearings regarding proposed legislation targeting trans youth. These bills represent just one example of the continuous challenges our transgender community faces, even in states traditionally considered more progressive.
At Gather & Grow, we believe that visibility must be paired with concrete action and support. Our commitment goes beyond mere acknowledgment - we actively provide affirming care to all members of our LGBTQIA+ community and advocate against policies that could harm our transgender community members.
We understand that discussions about anti-trans legislation can be distressing. If you or someone you know needs support during this time, please remember these valuable resources:
Trevor Project: 866-488-7386 - 24/7 crisis support services for LGBTQ+ young people
Trans Lifeline: 877-565-8860 - Peer support services run by and for trans people
Our practice remains committed to creating a safe, affirming space for all community members. We will continue to advocate for transgender rights and provide support to those affected by discriminatory policies and practices.
Together, we can work toward a future where every person can live authentically and safely, celebrated for who they are.
