International Transgender Day of Visibility, often simply Trans Day of Visibility or TDOV, is an annual event dedicated to celebrating transgender people raising awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people, and acknowledging their contributions to society. The first International Transgender Day of Visibility was held on March 31, 2009, and has since been spearheaded by the U.S.-based youth advocacy organization Trans Student Educational Resources.
History
2009 founding
The event was created by transgender activist Rachel Crandall Crocker of Michigan in 2009 as a reaction to the lack of LGBTQ+ recognition of transgender people, citing the frustration that the only well-known transgender-centered day was the Transgender Day of Remembrance, which mourned the murders of transgender people, but did not acknowledge and celebrate living members of the transgender community.
2014
In 2014, the day was observed by activists across the world, including in Ireland and Scotland.
