The Violence of Visibility: Who Protects the Dolls, the Boys, and the Rest of Us?
Trans Day of Remembrance
This talk reflects on what we choose to remember — and what must be done now. As trans people continue to navigate the limits of visibility politics, we ask: what has truly protected us, and what has failed us? To protect trans life is to protect the possibility of a more just, caring, and livable world for all. Join us in reimagining remembrance, solidarity, and action toward collective liberation.
