Today is Trans Day of Visibility, a day to celebrate and uplift trans and non-binary people while also recognizing the challenges they face. Visibility is powerful—it fosters understanding, builds community, and reminds those who feel unseen that they are valued and loved.

However, visibility alone isn’t enough. Mental health support is crucial. Trans individuals experience higher rates of anxiety, depression, and su***de due to discrimination, lack of access to affirming care, and societal stigma. That’s why safe spaces, mental health resources, and community-driven organizations like Lantera are essential in creating a world where everyone can thrive.

Let’s not just see our trans and non-binary friends—let’s support them, uplift them, and fight for their well-being.
