Trans Day of Visibility
Trans Day of Visibility (TDoV 2015) – Is an annual Bay Area event for Trans, GNC, and allied communities to celebrate our accomplishments, community, and inspire future change. The community celebration will be held on Tuesday, March 31st from 5:30 to 8pm at the SF LGBT Center.
TDoV 2015 is inspired by/for the community as way to celebrate Trans/ GNC people’s accomplishments and create visibility in all areas or our lives. The event is a collaboration with Trans: Thrive, the Center’s Trans Employment Program (TEEI), community partners and sponsors. Learn more about the history of TDoV below.
The evening will include fabulous entertainment, speakers, music, food and drinks. Everyone is welcome! Evening attire recommended but not expected. Check out more information and ways to get engaged with TDoV 2015 below.
Together we can move beyond Visibility!

More than Visibility:
Last year we were graced with fabulous community leaders and speakers. Hundreds of people showed up for trans visibility, to welcome Janet Mock to San Francisco, and recognize living legend Miss Major. Already in 2015 we are reminded that more work and visibility is needed.
The International TDoV is an annual holiday celebrated around the world. The day is dedicated to celebrating transgender & gender non-conforming people while raising awareness of victories and work that is still needed to save trans lives. The holiday was founded in 2009 as a reaction to the lack of LGBT holidays celebrating transgender people, citing the only well-known transgender – centered holiday is the Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Global events surrounding the day include protests, actions, sit-ins, poetry events, social events and a variety of other activities that emphasize the importance of trans and GNC lives in our communities locally and abroad. TDoV exists to build community, celebrate what we have accomplished, and inspire future change.
We must continue to bring visibility, honor, and take action for community members who have been killed due to undiscernible violence. In addition TDoV is an opportunity to honor the living, celebrated our elders, and inspire new leaders in our communities. Learn how to get engaged below!
