Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) is an international event on March 31 dedicated to recognizing the resilience and accomplishments of the transgender community. The day celebrates Transgender and Gender Non-Binary (TGNB) individuals. It raises awareness about the transgender and gender non-binary community, their struggles, and what allies can do to eliminate the barriers this community faces.
