Transgender Day of Visibility was officially recognized in 2023 by the White House on the last day of March.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Transgender Day of Visibility is a chosen day to honor and celebrate transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people.on the University of Alaska Anchorage campus to celebrate those individuals and recognize their achievements and resilience, standing in support and solidarity with the transgender community here in Alaska and around the world.
Saiki, the UAA Pride Center Engagement and Belonging Coordinator, says that the odds are high that many in Alaska know someone who is trans, non-binary or queer in general. “Representation matters and it’s also more than that,” Caldwell-Kan said. “I think visibility is really important, when we can see others, we know what longevity looks like and what joy can look like and what life can look like.”
“We are actively combating erasure and violence against trans people,” Saiki said. “If we are supporting and loving trans people, we are standing with them and showing that we are there with them in solidarity.”
