Trans Day of Visibility

Uncategorized

Trans Day of Visibility is coming March 31!

Our communities have our minds all over the place at the moment, but we’re taking the time to ensure this day doesn’t get lost in the sauce – and our community takes the time to be visible.

Michael And Cal talk with JOY mainstay Michelle “Mama Mish” Sheppard and Anastasia Le from Trans POV on JOY. We’re highlighting what Trans Day of Visibility means to both as visible (and audible!) trans women on JOY.

We touch on the topical subject of employment for trans folk, and inventive ways to keep up visibility at a time when much of our attention is elsewhere.
