Trans Day of Visibility event set date for a third time

Transgender Day of Visibility was on 31 March, but due to Perth experiencing inclement weather a planned event from Queer Liberation Boorloo was postponed until Saturday 11 April.

Now the event is moving one more time to the following day after organisers, determined the Northbridge Piazza location would not be available on the Saturday, now the event is locked in for Sunday 12 April at 5pm.

The day was established in 2009 by transgender activist Rachel Crandall, and was created in response to the lack of recognition of transgender people in the LGBTQ+ community and media, especially in a positive light.

Unlike November’s Transgender Day of Remembrance which honours those lost to anti-transgender violence, TDoV focuses on celebrating living members of the transgender community and their contributions to society.

The day has grown in prominence over the years, with community events, educational initiatives, and social media campaigns taking place globally.

Get all the details of the Queer Liberation Boorloo event on their Facebook page.

Update 6-04-26 An earlier version of this article described the date moving moved for the third time. This was inaccurate as the event has only be rescheduled twice, while now occupying a third date. The OUTinPerth team apologise for the inaccuracy.
