The trans flag flying on UCL’s Portico building
The trans flag flying on UCL's Portico building 31 March marks Trans Day of Visibility. Explore our range of recordings, articles and key resources including networks and support, with a foreword from the Chair of UCL's Trans Network and Co-chair of the LGBTQ+ Equality Steering Group. Foreword from Dr Sebastian Groh, Chair of Trans Network, Co-chair of LGBTQ+ Equality Steering Group. Trans Day of Visibility was founded in 2009 in order to celebrate the many wonderful members of the transgender community and raise awareness of the issues affecting us. In a society where our existence has increasingly become reduced to a philosophical debate and a tool to divide LGBT+ people in order to weaken the entire community, it is all the more important to show that we are still here and living our lives. Not an abstract notion or idea whose rights can be debated as intellectual exercise, but a group of real human beings with real emotions, struggles, and joy, just like everybody else. Transgender people have always existed, throughout history - and what a wild and colourful history it is, enriched by our identities and so many others! TDOV allows us to appreciate who we are, in all our diversity, often intersecting with many other minority identities.
