WPATH Recognizes International Transgender Day of Visibility

March 31, 2021

Today, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) honors all the transgender and gender diverse people around the world to recognize March 31, 2021, as International Transgender Day of Visibility.

WPATH will continue to work with professional healthcare providers as allies and advocates to show support for transgender and gender diverse people around the world, especially, people of color, and those living in rural, or conservative areas.

Despite progress made towards our mission to ensure people of all gender identities and expressions have access to evidence-based, affirming healthcare, there remains work to be done, as discrimination and violence are still prevalent in our world.

WPATH and the United States Professional Association for Transgender Health (USPATH) strongly oppose the legislation being passed and considered in many states. Please read our statement on these legislative attacks.

WPATH is also pleased to share the timely announcement by the United States Department of Defense regarding transgender persons serving in the military. Today, the Department has revised and restored the 2016 policy which prohibits discrimination based on gender identity. Read the complete DoD Memo and links to the Instructions by clicking here.

WPATH celebrates International Transgender Day of Visibility with our members and supporters on behalf of transgender and gender diverse people around the world.
