Transgender Day of Visibility is a complicated holiday. Transfaith co-founder, Mx. Chris Paige, takes up this topic on former Transfaith board member, Enzi Tanner’s podcast on the JewFolk station…
How would a Trans Day of Celebration be different from a Trans Day of Visibility?
What would change if we prioritized practices of caring for transgender communities (rather than only lifting up our visibility)?
The conversation runs about 45 minutes and also highlights numerous resources as well as beloved ancestors.

The United Church of Christ highlighted several Transfaith friends, including the Rev Malcolm Himschoot (widely known for his appearance in the film Call Me Malcolm). His sermon on the Transfiguration as a Bedazzled event is also shared.
Yadi Martinez-Reyna is another long-time co-conspirator with Transfaith. They are heading up a Color Splash camp in the heart of Texas this summer. Their recent op-ed with the United Church of Christ calls us to Holy Resistance—to build a world where transgender young people can be nurtured, loved, and empowered.
Wouldn’t a nurturing, loving, empowered transgender community be even better than visibility?
