Today, March 31st, is the #transgenderdayofvisibility, my first since coming out and letting the whole world see who I really am...
I have been blessed by support and acceptance in my #transition, but I know that this experience is not universal. (1/x)

Far too many of my #transgender and non-binary brethren are shunned, cast out, or attacked, simply for trying to live as who they are. Even now, in some parts of the world considered the most advanced and civilized, this community of mine is under direct attack. (2/x) ...
... Attacks that seek to legislate us right out of existence. It is no wonder that we are community that is struggling with fear.
Despite this, trans people are showing how strong we can be; we are showing ourselves as the beautiful people we are, inside & out, showing (3/x) ...

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! But trans people need more than visibility. We need housing, safety, food and justice.
Today I'm releasing a video for my song "The Tyranny of Either/Or," made from archival footage of key moments in trans resistance history
Today I'm releasing a video for my song "The Tyranny of Either/Or," made from archival footage of key moments in trans resistance history
Instead of making a lyrics video or whatever, I decided to make this music video into a mini history lesson about the trans and queer liberation movement, from the Compton's Cafeteria Riot to Sylvia Rivera's iconic speech at Christopher St Liberation Day
"Tyranny of Either/Or" is a pop-punk anthem against transphobia and it's the last single before the release of my album "Spotify is Surveillance" on April 9th. All my @bandcamp proceeds from this song will be donated to the @MPJInstitute. #TDOV2021 #TDOV evangreer.bandcamp.com/album/spotify-…
Trans people don’t exist in a vacuum – we create communities of people with diverse needs and experiences. Let’s delve a bit deeper into the intersecting aspects of trans identities… #TDOV2021 (GI)
Trans people are likelier to face hardship or discrimination if they are working class, disabled, or a person of colour.
'Trans' is a class issue, a race issue, a disability issue - we're all individuals with intersecting facets of self. (GI)

We must unpick thinking trans people have separable needs & desires from others. We're in every community across UK and need the same removal of systemic barriers as all other marginalised people – we’re frequently doubly or triply affected e.g. disabled Black trans women. (GI)
Hi everyone! This is Cara from Gendered Intelligence (@genderintel)- we're taking over Jo's account today on #TDOV2021! We'll be posting some things about trans people in the UK and what you can do to help! (GI)
Gendered Intelligence is the biggest trans-led organisation working across the UK. Since 2008 we’ve supported trans people (particularly trans youth) across all parts of their life. Our main aim is to increase understandings of gender diversity & visibility of trans people! (GI)
We are a trans-led and trans-involving grassroots organisation with a wealth of lived experience, community connections of many kinds, and a depth and breadth of trans community knowledge that is second to none. We believe everyone can be intelligent about gender! @Genderintell
