But the past few years have been difficult for the trans and non-binary community, particularly the past year. We have seen our rights diminished, increased demonisation in the press and on social media, and access to healthcare becoming restricted all while feeling abandoned by the government. The community feels unsafe and forced into invisibility, which is the intended outcome of the anti-trans movement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, on Trans Day of Visibility, we are asking that you, our allies, stand up and be visible with us! Show your pride in being an ally, not just here at UoM, but also online and most importantly with your friends and family. The support from hearing people saying and meaning that \u201ctrans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary people are non-binary\u201d, is very powerful. Most people have a trans person in their life, but they may not know due to them still questioning or being too scared to come out. Seeing your support for the community could make a world of difference for them and give them the strength they need to be their true selves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So,\u00a0on Trans Day of Visibility, we are asking that you, our allies in the university stand up\u00a0and join us!\u00a0We will be\u00a0gathering at 12:30 on the 31-3-26\u00a0in\u00a0Brunswick Park (Oxford Road end) for a photo opportunity. Bring\u00a0your\u00a0flags and banners and show your support for the\u00a0trans and non-binary\u00a0community at UoM. There will also be a free unique\u00a0allies\u00a0button badge available for participants of the photo!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>TIN-Bee<\/p>\n<p>Transgender, Intersex Non-Binary staff group<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:TIN-Bee@manchester.ac.uk\">TIN-Bee@manchester.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.106&#8243; in_same_term=&#8221;off&#8221; show_prev=&#8221;on&#8221; show_next=&#8221;on&#8221; prev_text=&#8221;Previous&#8221; next_text=&#8221;Next&#8221; locked=&#8221;on&#8221; parent_locked=&#8221;off&#8221; \/][et_pb_comments _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.106&#8243; show_avatar=&#8221;on&#8221; show_reply=&#8221;on&#8221; show_count=&#8221;on&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;51&#8243; header_line_height_tablet=&#8221;2&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_icon_placement=&#8221;right&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_use_icon=&#8221;off&#8221; locked=&#8221;on&#8221; parent_locked=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text_size__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_text_size__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_size__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_text_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_width__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_width__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_width__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_radius__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_radius__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_radius__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_letter_spacing__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_letter_spacing__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_bg_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_bg_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_bg_color__hover=&#8221;null&#8221; \/][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Related posts&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.106&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; locked=&#8221;on&#8221; parent_locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1>Related<\/h1>\n<!-- relpost-thumb-wrapper --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-wrapper\"><!-- filter-class --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-container\"><h3>Related posts:<\/h3><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><!-- relpost-block-container --><div class=\"relpost-block-container relpost-block-column-layout\" style=\"--relposth-columns: 3;--relposth-columns_t: 2; --relposth-columns_m: 2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/edi\/2025\/11\/06\/tin-bee-staff-trans-parent-day-letter\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-label=\"Stylised bee icon with wings coloured in the transgender pride flag stripes (light blue, pink, and white), shown in two sizes on a white background\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/edi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2025\/11\/TIN-Bee-parents-150x150.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 150px; height: 150px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 75px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 12px;  color: #333333;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">TIN-Bee Staff: Trans Parent Day Letter<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.manchester.ac.uk\/edi\/2025\/10\/21\/tin-bee-1996-2026-30-years-of-intersex-awareness-fortnight\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-label=\"\u201cThree people standing on a sidewalk during a protest.
