On International Trans Day of Visibility we would like to recognize and appreciate members of the transgender community who also participate in amateur radio. We see you, we welcome you, and we acknowledge your rights to respect, dignity, and safety. We will continue to work to make this hobby and Cascadia Radio in particular a safe and welcoming place for you. #TransVisibilityDay #TransDayOfVisibility #TransDayOfVisibility2024 #amateurradio #hamradio

Trans Day of Visibility is today, which is perfect because there's a ton of eggs around. It's also apparently World Backup Day, but in this case I think it's okay to delete the backup of your gender.

Happy trans day of visibility everyone 💜🏳️‍⚧️
