Transgender Day of Visibility 2024 Their Light Still Shines On In 2024, as we marked the Transgender Day of Visibility under the theme Their Light Still Shines On, our gathering was filled with both strength and sorrow. While we remembered those whose journeys ended too soon, we also mourned a profound and personal loss our beloved SweetLove.
SweetLove was more than a friend. She was a darling of our community gentle, radiant, and unafraid to love loudly in a world that often tried to dim her shine. The laughter, kindness, and resilience reminded us daily why visibility matters, and why every trans life deserves dignity, safety, and joy.
Though her absence is heavy, the spirit continues to guide us. SweetLove’s light has not gone out; it lives on in our memories, in our advocacy, and in every step we take toward justice and inclusion.
On this day of visibility, we did not only see trans lives we honored them, protected them, and carried their light forward. And as we spoke their name, we affirmed that SweetLove’s light still shines on.
IDAHO: Our Resilience as ITGNC Refugees
Every May, we join the global community in marking the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHO). For us as ITGNC women asylum seekers and survivors of violence, the day is not only symbolic it is deeply personal.
We gather in our shelter spaces to share stories, heal, and organize quietly. Through testimony, dialogue, and creative expression, we turn trauma into strength and invisibility into resistance.
For us, IDAHO is more than a commemoration it is a declaration: our survival is our victory, and our resilience is our resistance.
