TikTokToday, we are celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) and spotlighting trailblazing trans and nonbinary creators who use their platforms to educate, inspire and advocate for #TransVisibility.
March 31 marks a moment for allies and transgender communities to reflect on the historical impact of the trans community across mainstream culture and industries. As we honor the groundbreaking creativity and resilience of the trans community, we’re proud to spotlight the trans and nonbinary creators who come to TikTok to unapologetically share their stories and joy.
