by Jayla Wilkerson Today is #TransDayOfVisibility or #TDOV. Many of us are struggling with how to be visible in the era of coronavirus and social distancing/sheltering in place.
So, here is my contribution. Many who know me well know that Harvey Milk is one of my biggest heroes. But what does that have to do with TDOV?
Harvey wasn’t transgender. True. But Harvey knew the power and the importance of visibility. Gay rights in the US were on very shaky ground in the 1960s and 1970s.
