Transgender Day of Visibility
Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) is an annual holiday celebrated around the world on March 31st. The day is dedicated to celebrating the
accomplishments and victories of transgender and gender non-conforming people while raising awareness of the work that is still needed to save trans lives. The holiday was founded in 2010 as a reaction to the lack of LGBT holidays celebrating the lives of
transgender people.
