Pete Carr<p>Trans Day of Visibility at the Museum of Liverpool - It was a joy to spend the weekend at the Museum of Liverpool documenting the TDOV (Trans Day of Visibility) events for National Museums Liverpool. Trans joy from floor to ceiling. Writing, artwork, poetry, music and interesting talks. The event was wonderfully put together by Spirit Level.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/commission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>commission</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/event" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>event</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/museumofliverpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>museumofliverpool</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tdov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tdov</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/transdayofvisibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transdayofvisibility</span></a></p>

Bernie Luckily Does It<p>One thing I was planning on writing for <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TransDayOfVisibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransDayOfVisibility</span></a> is that a few weeks ago I tried hinting to a trusted friend that my pronouns weren't what she expects. It didn't go as planned. Somehow I think she came out of that conversation even more sure I'm cis, but a good trans ally. I know I'm not the first, and I'm not sure about the second.</p>

everton137<p>Since the Fediverse is a place I found several incredible trans people which I learned and I'm still learning from, I want to ask if this ironic image of Putin with Le Pen's hair is transphobic. I thought it was just an irony with the reaction of some far-right politicians, but I might be wrong. It's a genuine question.</p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/youranoncentral.bsky.social/post/3lloztjsspk2k" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bsky.app/profile/youranoncentr</span><span class="invisible">al.bsky.social/post/3lloztjsspk2k</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/TransDayOfVisibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransDayOfVisibility</span></a></p>

Tyra Tollkirsche<p>Kopfschmerzbedingt bestand mein Trans day of visibility gestern nur daraus, dass ich bei der Lohnarbeit einen trans Pride Pin an der Mütze hatte und einen Pulli mit einem Aufdruck einer Blume und der Aufschrift "Be brave, be kind, be true, be you", alles in den Farben der trans Flagge. Übersetzt heißt der Aufdruck "Sei mutig, sei nett, sei echt, sei du"<br>Mir ist es wichtig, im Alltag als transfeminine Person sichtbar zu sein. Grade bei der Lohnarbeit bin ich viel im ländlichen Raum in Sachsen und Thüringen unterwegs. Hier bin ich für viele meiner Kund*innen wahrscheinlich die einzige trans Person, mit der sie zu tun haben. Und wenn sie durch mich merken, dass wir auch einfach nur Menschen sind, die ihr Leben leben wollen, und nicht so, wie wir in Comedy Serien und Filmen dargestellt werden, hilft das vielleicht, Transfeindlichkeit in der Gesellschaft abzubauen. Meiner Erfahrung nach kommt Transfeindlichkeit oft auch einfach durch Unwissenheit, schädliche Darstellung in den Medien und dadurch, dass es einfach das Unbekannte ist, womit eins im Alltag nichts zu tun hat.<br>Ich bin sichtbar und nehme auch alle Risiken und Gefahren bewusst in Kauf, damit es die nachfolgenden Generationen ein bisschen leichter haben :neocat_flag_trans: </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/tags/TDOV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TDOV</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.catgirl.cloud/tags/TransDayOfVisibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransDayOfVisibility</span></a></p>

Gabriele Svelto<p>Because contrary to many of his peers Eguchi's girls were pretty but not designed for the male gaze. This wasn't accidental because he wasn't drawing the object of his desires but rather what he would have wanted to be. In his own words:</p><p>&gt; The ideal girl for me is the one I would have wanted to become if I was born a girl, it is not the girl I would dream to date, it is really the frustration of not being born as a girl which fuels my drawings.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a6Wqq4zifw" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=2a6Wqq4zif</span><span class="invisible">w</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TransDayOfVisibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransDayOfVisibility</span></a></p>
Gabriele Svelto<p>Given today is <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TransDayOfVisibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransDayOfVisibility</span></a> here's an interesting tidbit: among the flood of AI generated slop that's been thrown around you'll find plenty of AI-generated fake '80s japanese synthpop music usually presented with images of pretty girls as the cover image. The style used for the girls in those videos is very often a shameful ripoff of Hisashi Eguchi's. A mangaka known for his beautiful and fashionable drawings. Why is that relevant today?</p>

Mystery Babylon<p>Trans people exist at the nexus of life-avenues that these three things feel safe targeting.</p><p>That's it! That's all we did! It's fucking incidental that we're treated bad -- it is nothing to do with what we <em>are</em> -- it isn't earned.</p><p>I don't feel able to be visibly trans in Georgia, because these three things exist here. Both in the Georgian culture, and in the growing negative influence from Russia, a really sick society.</p><p>This was also identically true in America. It's both an internal problem, and an externally-influenced one. Machismo-religion-misery. They've all got to be addressed, because they influence and exacerbate each other.</p><p>Absent of these three social pressures, trans people are beautiful, normal people. And living a fun and meaning-filled life is completely probable.</p><p>Machismo can be met with the visibility and activism of those whose circumstances give them the ability to stand up for DEI, "modern culture", progressivism, and human equality. Loudly, often, and shamelessly.</p><p>Religion needs to be kept in check with a respect for the scientific reality of diversity, and how this huge world is still revealing so much to us.</p><p>Misery can be addressed with things like UBI, compassionate discourse (<em>all</em> of us need to do this), and cultivating some self-respect as a society.</p><p>Trans people are full of these energies. Whether we are out and visible, or working on things in solitude, we are HERE and we are so necessary for the future.</p><p>3/3<br><a href="https://onycha.monster/tags/transdayofvisibility2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransDayOfVisibility2025</span></a> <a href="https://onycha.monster/tags/transdayofvisibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransDayOfVisibility</span></a><br>:trans_Pirate:</p>
Mystery Babylon<p>The three poisons I see across the cultures I've been in:</p><p>Male machismo -- it looks different in different parts of the world, but boils down to a terrified, insecure pecking order among men that looks (to an outsider) like weakness.</p><p>Religion -- when it's the most potent identity-facet a person can access, boy do they cling to it like a life preserver. They do whatever it says. And want to bash whatever it prohibits. It's like a kid trying over-hard to prove themselves to a stern parent.</p><p>Misery -- most people don't have the intestinal fortitude to keep from passing on to others the shitty feelings that a hard life fills them with. Average people do this by toying with the oppressed, in the coward's manner of "as much as they can get away with." And the powerful do this by treating everyone else like contemptible toys. It spreads, and becomes a social contagion, then a plague, then a rot at the heart of a culture.</p><p>2/3<br><a href="https://onycha.monster/tags/transdayofvisibility2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransDayOfVisibility2025</span></a> <a href="https://onycha.monster/tags/transdayofvisibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransDayOfVisibility</span></a><br>:trans_Pirate:</p>
Mystery Babylon<p>Bit late to Trans Day of Visibility.</p><p>It feels weird this year, because while I'm technically a whole lot safer than I was in a blood-red corner of America last year, I'm still currently sitting in a city where being openly trans (or gay) is just...not done.</p><p>I'm no expert about this place, but there is a cultural comparison to America that is somewhat illuminating.</p><p>1/3</p><p><a href="https://onycha.monster/tags/transdayofvisibility2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransDayOfVisibility2025</span></a> <a href="https://onycha.monster/tags/transdayofvisibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransDayOfVisibility</span></a><br>:trans_Pirate:​</p>
