Transgender Day of Visibility: March 31

Around the globe, March 31 is an annual day of awareness celebrating the accomplishments of transgender and gender-expansive people, who have made great contributions to the arts, to the sciences and to every field of human endeavor. Additionally, this day helps raise awareness of the work needed to address the ongoing discrimination and marginalization this community faces. Stigmatization perpetuates existing barriers to care and exacerbates the harmful effects of social determinants of health. In the past year alone, state legislatures across the United States introduced approximately 450 anti-LGBTQ+ bills, many of which target transgender people, especially transgender youth. 

These bills seek to enact a worldview that does not accept the existence of transgender and gender expansive people. Show your support by downloading and displaying a virtual background on March 31. Sibley employees: Attend a Call to Action meeting on March 29 for Transgender Day of Visibility.

The Johns Hopkins University will celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility with Expanding Genders, an event honoring the resilience and contributions of our transgender and gender-nonconforming community, on April 2 from 2:30–7 p.m. in the Great Hall, Levering, Homewood campus. For the program and registration, please visit the Trans Utopia & Expanding Genders webpage
