Transgender Day of Visibility

Friday, March 31st, 2023

The Vancouver Local is celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility by saying unequivocally:

We See You. We Support You.

“It is revolutionary for any trans person to choose to be seen and visible in a world that tells us we should not exist” -Laverne Cox

With more visibility comes more understanding. We acknowledge that transgender still people face many barriers in accessing housing, healthcare and employment. In addition, they still face discrimination, harassment, transphobia and attacks from far-right public figures and media outlets.

1 in 300 Canadians over the age of 15 identify as transgender or non-binary

1 in 150 Canadians age 15 to 34 identify as transgender or non-binary

1 in 100 Canadians age 20 to 24 identify as transgender or non-binary

As the stigmas are removed from our society, more and more people feel comfortable in coming out and expressing their true gender identity

Source: Statistics Canada

Over time, the acceptance and understanding of gender and sexual diversity has evolved. There have also been great advances in the social and legislative recognition of LGBTQ2SIA+ people, but the struggle for equality and legal protections against discrimination continues.
