This year Eid and Trans Day of Visibility have coincided. Maryam - TransActual’s Director for Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Community Engagement - has written a piece on what both days mean to them. Read it at: transactual.org.uk/blog/2025/03... #Trans #Transgender #Nonbinary #TDOV #TDOV25

Text says "My transness and my faith are not in conflict but in conversation. Eid is a celebration of divine mercy and TDOV is a celebration of trans resilience. Together they affirm that we are whole, we are loved and we are worthy of belonging. Maryam (they/she). Full article: https://transactual.org.uk/blog/category/features/.
