Hey, fam, it's me, Amara. Welcome to the TransLash podcast, a show where we tell

trans stories to save trans lives. Well, this upcoming Tuesday, March 31st, is Trans Day of Visibility.

And, of course, trans people are being made visible in so many ways over the last year.

Many of them not so great, and a lot of them not in our control.

So we wanted to revisit this issue of visibility.

What does it mean for us personally?

And what are the possibilities for us in love, in life,

by being clear to the world about who we are,

talking for ourselves, and not just being talked about?

Well, today I'm joined by actress, activist, founder,

and now campaign spokesperson, Angelica Ross,

to talk about what she's learned throughout her career

about visibility and especially what it's meant for her

in terms of finding love.

I thought it was my responsibility to be visible.

And I don't say that as if it's every trans woman's responsibility,

but I saw it as mine because I knew that I had the ability to respond

and not be silent.

But before we get into that, let's start out as always,

with some trans joy.

Marley Godderer is a New York-based actress and comedian known for her absurdist stand-up comedy. You may have seen her at Sundance on HBO or on her recent indoctrination tour, where she

tried to turn as many cis people trans as possible.
