As TDOV approaches, Miko (@megemikoart) reminds us that trans joy is closely connected to trans visibility, because it’s only when we can see other trans people living happy and joy-filled lives that we know trans joy is possible. ✨🏳️‍⚧️🌼

Everyone who came out to defend trans’ rights showed young trans people what community power looks like. Keep up the pressure: sign our petition demanding leaders reject anti-trans attacks and pass policies to protect trans people. https://mailchi.mp/translifeline/transmonthofvisibility2026 ✊🏽✨🏳️‍⚧️

For KB, visibility means seeing the full breadth of trans lives, including those in the past, present, and future. They share why finding community with other trans people and seeking out positive trans stories is part of sustaining trans joy. ✨🏳️‍⚧️🌼

PSA: non-consensual rescue can escalate crisis. practicing consent in moments of crisis is all about slowing down, orienting to the person’s cues, and asking what kind of support is wanted, and what isn’t. practicing consent means preserving dignity, agency, and relationship even in urgency.

As part of our ongoing series leading up to TDOV, we’re highlighting different trans voices. This is Star, a peer support specialist at Trans Lifeline, who discusses how trans visibility can be as simple and powerful as looking in the mirror and knowing you are exactly who you’re meant to be. 🏳️‍⚧️✨

Our Trans Week of Visibility Streamathon is LIVE! Tune in on peer2peer.live literally anytime, now through TDoV, to see one of the over 70 trans creators participating in the relay! Every view helps raise money and awareness to our live saving, grassroots funded work! 🏳️‍⚧️✨

As we approach TDOV, we have some amazing folks highlighting different trans voices and experiences. We are so excited to hear from Ryan Cassata. He reminds us that trans visibility is more than just a day on a calendar - it’s EVERYDAY. Living authentically is what makes us seen <333

2 days til our session! Have you met our panelists yet? 👀✨ This month’s Community Conversations features three incredible voices from our community — Carolina Gutiérrez , Mars Wright, and ViVi S Fierce. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss. 💜 tr.ee/nrWHTv

the legal definition of consent matters in many contexts and legality doesn’t always tell us how to be ethical, relational, or responsive. it can be understood as a kind of science - it’s observable, testable, repeatable and always revisable. we get better at practicing consent by staying curious.

✨Community Conversations returns on March 18th! This month’s theme: Beyond Visibility: What It Truly Means to Be Seen What does it mean to move beyond being visible and toward being valued? Protected? Celebrated? 💻 Save your spot and RSVP here: https://tr.ee/nrWHTv

Black trans futures are already here. Right now, Black trans leaders are building the foundation for a more liberated future by challenging transphobia and anti-Blackness through legislation, organizing, art, technology, and community. #BlackTransFuturesMonth #BlackHistoryMonth #trans

Our liberation is intertwined, our safety is shared, and our future is collectively shaped. Liberation for all means dignity, safety, and freedom for Black trans people. We can and will shape a flourishing Black trans future. #BlackTransFuturesMonth #BlackTransLivesMatter

considerations for peer support: permission is a part of consent but it’s important to know that consent ≠ permission. consent asks us to look beyond a verbal “yes” and consider the conditions shaping that yes (or no). when practicing consent consider: 💡 context 💡 history 💡 capacity 💡 safety

Binding is an important gender-affirming practice, and binders are one safe method to compress your chest to appear flatter. There are many different colors and types of binders, such as tanks, half binders, racerbacks, and more. Video 3: Basic Use & Care for you Binder. <3

Take Action! From now til Feb 17 5pm ET! Gender-affirming care is essential, life-saving healthcare. The federal gov't is trying to block hospitals from providing this care to trans youth. Sign now to oppose these attacks. mailchi.mp/translifeline/tlforgenderaffirmingcare

Wearing a binder is just one method of binding. Other options include binding with trans tape, wearing sports bras, or compression shirts. Learn about healthier alternatives to duct tape, Ace bandages, or plastic wrap for binding your chest! Video 2: What to avoid when binding

Something incredible is happening in the Magic: The Gathering community. The prolific MTG Youtube channel Tolarian Community College has raised $450,000 and growing for Trans Lifeline. Read our writer S. Baum's story here and go pitch in! www.erininthemorning.com/p/magic-the-...

Together, we raised over $600,000 for @translifeline.org this year. From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful. We have come together to say to our trans friends and family that they are loved and that they are not alone. Trans rights are human rights. When we gather together, we can make Magic.

Chest binding is a gender-affirming practice done by all kinds of people. It can improve one’s mental health and decrease gender dysphoria. Given some of the current policies in place, we think these videos are worth resurfacing. Video 1: Safer Ways to Bind Your Chest <3

$150,000 (actually it's now $155,000) for @translifeline.org LET'S GO MAGIC: THE GATHERING PLAYERS!!!!!!

why peer support. why harm reduction. why now? Peer support is a radical, community-led practice rooted in lived experience, mutual aid, and shared care. You can practice this today, in your friendships, in your workplaces, in your communities. with the strangers around you. today and forever.
