Zum Trans* Day of Visibility (Trans* Tag der Sichtbarkeit) fanden sich vorgestern Nachmittag rund 70 trans* Personen und Allies bei Sonne, Wind und einem bunten Fahnenmeer zu einem gemeinsamen Picknick am Bootshafen zusammen. 🌞🏳️‍⚧️ Neben einem leckeren Buffet, Spielen und guter Musik gab es Redebeiträge, vorgelesene Buchausschnitte und Zitate, in welchen auf verschiedene Aspekte der Sichtbarkeit von trans* Personen hingewiesen und auch persönliche Erfahrungen geteilt wurden.

Außerdem nutzten die Besucher*innen der Veranstaltung die Möglichkeit, eine große trans* Flagge mit Kommentaren und Zitaten zu bemalen, um stärkende und positive Botschaften von und für die trans* Community zu hinterlassen.

Nach etwa zweieinhalb Stunden endete mit Sinken der Sonne und Temperatur zwar die Veranstaltung, doch nicht unsere Sichtbarkeit! Egal ob laut oder leise, kämpferisch oder entspannt, wütend, traurig, fröhlich, jung oder alt—wir stehen zusammen und sagen mit Recht: Trans* sein ist wunderschön!⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🫂🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Saw a Trans Day of Visibility post (TDOV) using generative AI. I am conflicted.

Great to raise visibility but we should NOT use the very tools that are not only destroying the planet, have funded Trump (OpenAI) and are destroying the livelihoods of artists.

Cue Audre Lorde quote....

“For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.

Racism and homophobia are real conditions of all our lives in this place and time. I urge each one of us here to reach down into that deep place of knowledge inside herself and touch that terror and loathing of any difference that lives here.

See whose face it wears. Then the personal as the political can begin to illuminate all our choices.” - Audre Lorde

Have an original piece! And happy trans day of visibility! (A day late, but.)

This song is about queerness against societal pressure to conform. I also hope it resonates for other struggles to flourish against social pressure.

I wrote the text as a poem in summer 2024 while volunteering for Rock Camp Montréal, then the music in late 2024, originally an improvisation.

Sichtbarkeit ist Überleben. Und sie wird bedroht – von Narrativen, die unsere Existenz infrage stellen, medizinische Standards diskreditieren und uns gegeneinander ausspielen. Am TDOV 2026 benennen wir klar, was uns verletzt – und warum wir bleiben.

If you want to see something positive and gentle for Trans Day of Visibility, this episode of my documentary series has been called heartwarming and KJ speaks to ways of building a kind, more accepting world for everyone:

Now that it's actually #TransDayOfVisibility (don't ask how I got the date wrong) I feel I should post something but I'm sick today and lack the spoons. I'll mention that I make music, and it can be found through the links below. If you wanted to support me (an unemployed, financially struggling transfem) in some way, you could purchase some of that music. Regardless, I hope trans people everywhere are having a wonderful day. #TDOV #TDOV2026
