8. Trans Day of Visibility - The Joy & Weight of Being Seen
With Trans Day of Visibility just around the corner, we’re diving into what it really means to be seen. In this episode of Gender in Focus, Kai and El unpack the complexities of trans and non-binary visibility - the good, the challenging and the moments in between.
When does visibility feel affirming? When does it feel like a risk? How do trans and non-binary people navigate being seen in a world that doesn’t always know how to see them? And what’s the role of workplaces and allies in making visibility safer and more meaningful?
It’s not just about showing up - it’s about having the choice to do so in ways that feel right. Visibility can open doors, but it can also come with pressures and expectations. Kai and El explore what true support looks like, sharing personal stories and reflections on how to create space for trans and non-binary people to be seen on their own terms.
