Trans Day of Visibility and the Coordinated Attack on Identity Documents

Each year on March 31, the world observes Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) to raise awareness about transgender people. It is a day to celebrate the lives and contributions of trans people, while also drawing attention to the disproportionate levels of poverty, discrimination, and violence the community faces compared to cisgender (non-transgender) people. This episode will feature Lambda Legal’s Carl Charles alongside national multi-hyphenate, Miss Peppermint, and artist and lead plaintiff in the Schlacter et. Al. V. U.S. Department of State et. Al. Case, Zander Schlacter to discuss what trans visibility means to them, how identity documents can be affirming, and how they find joy in amidst all the chaos.
