The last day of March is the Transgender Day of Visibility, a day to
improve awareness of transgender people, to draw attention to the
challenges and oppression we face, and help people understand us better.
The TDoV is more important than ever in 2025, as the Trump
Administration has put us squarely in its target sights.

  While I am sympathetic to your stated goal, I would feel even more
positive toward your OP if you made even a token effort to present it
in a way that's on-topic to T.O.; ex. document non-binary sexual
behavior in other species, or explain how transgender people provide
adaptive benefits to human societies.

I thought it might be of interest to the group generally, as talk.origins has always had a secondary purpose of identifying and countering authoritarian attempts to overrule science — the why of creationism, so to speak, in addition to the how. The current Administration's war on "gender ideology" is a cousin of creationism and intelligent design; it's bread and circuses to keep the rubes distracted while the oligarchs pick their pockets.
In addition, I've been posting here on and off for 30 years now, and many of you feel like people I've known for a very long time. Perhaps not friends, precisely, but long-time neighbors of whom I've grown very fond. I thought you might be interested. My sincere apologies if the general consensus is this is inappropriate for talk.origins.
