Trans Day of Visibility 2023

Today we proudly mark #TransDayofVisibility and celebrate transgender people as an equal, integral part of the human experience – throughout history, now, and forever after.

Unfortunately, today’s trans experience in the U.S. is under deadly assault. Public calls for erasure. Vicious violence. Hate speech. And hundreds of bills designed to steal fundamental rights.

How do we move forward? One essential path to progress is making and seeing trans stories. That’s where we come in. The #TransgenderFilmCenter exists to help trans creators produce and share their films around the globe.

For the creators, telling their stories is processing their experience, gaining confidence – catharsis that helps them become their true selves. For audiences, more trans-led movies means a richer world of films, characters and voices.

Together, that means a safer, more inclusive world for everyone.

To every trans person, and everyone who loves a trans person, please know: we see you. How hard it can be right now. How strong you are in the face of it. That you’re inherently wondrous and valuable just by your existence. That your perspective makes your community brighter. That you’ll never back down.

To honor and love you, neither will we.
