Today is Trans Day of Visibility, celebrating the accomplishments and lived experiences of Transgender and gender non-conforming people around the world, while raising awareness of the challenges facing these people, and the work that remains to be done in achieving equality and safety. We stand in solidarity with Trans people – our friends, family and colleagues.

Below is a statement from NXF – the National Lesbian & Gay Federation, along with details of the Transgender Family Support Line for those in need of support.
