Trans Visibility is Core to Trans Futures—And Safety is Essential

Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the strength, joy, and resilience of trans and gender non-conforming (TGNC) people everywhere. But we also recognize a hard truth: visibility alone isn’t enough. Safety, support, and action are essential.

For many, seeing another trans person—someone who has survived, thrived, and lived authentically—is life-changing. As one #TransMascFutures campaign participant shared:

“The first time I saw a future for me as a trans man was when I met a real trans adult. This transmasc person became like a father to me, and he was pivotal to when my life was revitalized after starting my journey with gender-affirming care. Trans visibility is core to trans futures.”

Representation matters, but it must be paired with real-world support. This year alone, over 820 anti-trans bills have been introduced across the U.S.—42 have already been signed into law. These attacks don’t just target trans rights; they threaten trans lives.

Not everyone can be out. Not everyone is safe.

That’s why InReach is taking action. We’re working to ensure trans people don’t just see a future for themselves—we’re helping build it. Through the #TransMascFutures Campaign, we are:

✨ Uplifting 100+ positive stories from a diverse group of trans masc adults
🌈 Increasing access to life-saving, verified resources for thousands of TGNC folks in need
💖 Helping trans youth see and build their futures
