Transgender Day of Visibility

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility. #transdayofvisibility The lack of data on the transgender population makes it difficult to create policies and programs to address the needs of transgender people. Our researchers make it a priority to shed light on issues facing transgender individuals and to give others the tools to do so as well. #transdayofvisibility
