Last Saturday, hundreds of transgender and nonbinary people, along with their allies, gathered in Washington, D.C., for the National Trans Visibility March. The event, held annually since 2019, focused on increasing trans visibility in both politics and society. Participants emphasized the importance of supporting pro-trans politicians, contacting elected officials, and engaging in grassroots campaigns. This year's march also highlighted the intersection of HIV prevention and broader social justice issues. Advocates called for comprehensive sex education and culturally competent, trans-inclusive health care services. Starting at noon at the Human Rights Campaign headquarters, marchers held signs proclaiming “Trans rights are human rights,” “Protect Trans Siblings” and “Trans Lives Matter.” The march concluded at the HRC headquarters, after which the participants enjoyed a post-march party at the Moxy Hotel. Notable speakers at the march included Hope Giselle, Kelley Robinson, Elijah Nicholas, Ollie Henry, Iya Dammons, Louis Shackelford, and Lee Blinder. Hope Giselle, who is the president of the National Trans Visibility March, honored Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign, with a Torch Award during the event. This award recognizes individuals whose work has significantly impacted the lives of Transgender, Gender Non-Conforming, and Non-Binary (TGNCNB) communities nationwide. This year’s National Trans Visibility March holds great significance as it occurred against the backdrop of ongoing legislative attacks on the transgender community. According to translegislation.com, a record 642 anti-trans bills were considered across 42 states this year, with 45 successfully passed. #Trans Rights
