Today is the Trans Day of Visibility. This year, especially, we need to show our love and support for all folks and let it be known that we will NOT tolerate the intolerance of those who are trying to legislate other people's bodies.
Let's flood our social media feeds with support, sure, AND more importantly, let your legislators know how you feel!
