7 Young LGBTQ Stars Explain the Importance of Transgender Visibility Day

Jacob is a genderqueer writer and producer who currently works on Transparent.

"I think the main message for today is that part of visibility is supporting each other, right? Because being visible as trans people is hard. It is work, and it takes a lot of courage and stamina. And so, I think on Transgender Visibility Day, what's so important is to celebrate each other and to really love on all the trans people in your life. Remind them just how important and vital their visibility is for you, and that goes for trans folks and the other folks in our community. And that goes for allies, really showing love to trans folks who are holding it down."
