Happy Trans Day of Visibility everyone. I spent over 6 months writing and rewriting this article that I just published. Most of that time was spent debating whether or not to publish it.

I'm finally coming out; I'm trans. I hope this article helps.

Coming Out as Trans

I am publicly announcing that I am transgender. I have experienced gender dysphoria for almost ten years, but I have found a label that I feel comfortable with now.

On this #TransDayOfVisiblity, I want to specifically highlight Bernie Wagenblast.

She is one of the famous announcer voices for New York City's Metropolitan Transit Authority! (See video for demonstration)

From her wikipedia page: Bernie Wagenblast is a transportation journalist, radio personality and voice-over artist. She is the founder and editor of the Transportation Communications Newsletter. She also edits The AASHTO Daily Transportation Update, published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and hosts AASHTO's ETAP Podcast and the ITE Talks Transportation podcast for the Institute of Transportation Engineers.

Trans folks putting the 'trans' in public transit!

So today is #TransDayOfVisibility. As a cis person I'm going to challenge my fellow cis people to make a visible difference to #trans people's lives today.

Buy a trans friend a coffee. Bake them a cake. Invite them round for dinner. Offer to babysit for them. Anything you can do to make their life a bit easier. Don't have any trans friends? Think about why that is...

Or find some trans people on hashtags like #MutualAidRequest #TransMutualAid etc. and fling some money at them, if you have some to spare.

Or set up a regular donation to a trans-led organisation doing good work, such as @tsn via https://ko-fi.com/transsafetynetwork/
