This Sunday, March 31 marks the 16th annual International Transgender Day of Visibility. In celebration, New York City Transit, NYC LGBT Historic Sites
Bernie Wagenblast aka the “voice of the subway” who came out as trans in 2023, is the host of the new mini-series podcast, “InTransit,” brining awareness to trans people. Project and the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center joined forces to create a new awareness campaign: “InTransit: Guiding 2.4 million daily riders to respect trans people.”
“Trans stories existed way before this has become the issue du jour,” said Ken Lustbader, co-director of the project. “New York City has been a melting pot of trans lives and we’ve documented that, so there’s no way that that history can be erased.” “Visibility is so important because when people see someone that’s different, they come to understand the person — not some stereotype,” Wagenblast told amNewYork Metro. “Hopefully I can increase that visibility.”
However, McGovern also recognized New York State’s leadership on protecting access to health and ensuring that the state remains a safe haven for the entire LGBTQ+ community.
