Monday marks International Trans Day of Visibility, and, at a time when there are efforts to erase transgender people, community members say every day is important to be visible.

“It’s really important for us to show up in this way and pour into one another, especially given our current social climate,” Ro Pena, co-founder of Transformative Schools, said.

Pena was one of several people who filed into a room at the LGBT Center in the West Village Friday to share stories of joy, even as their rights are being rescinded by the Trump administration.

“This day is paramount to the work that we continue to do as a community. It’s not just about visibility, it’s about resistance,” Pena said.

That fight has been seen on city streets in recent weeks, pushing back on rollbacks like references to the transgender community being erased from Stonewall Monument.

At one point, gender transition care was paused at area hospitals due to funding threats by the federal government.

The government is also marking passports with a person’s sex assigned at birth.

“A lot of communities right here and right now are being reminded that just because we had a certain right or access to whatever, that we’re seeing things threatened, or taken away,” Zyrie Price, transgender and non-binary health coordinator at Amida Care, said.

As much as the community highlighted visibility, members say it’s also a time to empower the community.

“I want them to walk away with a sense of community. It’s so important for us to protect our trans joy. You know, once we lose our trans joy, the opposition wins,” Yanery Cruz, director of Advocacy and Programs at New York Transgender Advocacy Group, said.

Community members say now is not the time to be complacent.

“Us, as a community, being able to come together and support each other — it proves that we’re still here. And even if the current administration doesn’t support us, we support each other,” Jocelyn Bula, with The New Pride Agenda, said.
