Ahead of State Capitol rally, what to know about the International Transgender Day of Visibility

City, county, and state leaders, along with organizational representatives, gathered at City Hall on Monday, March 31, 2025, for a press conference in honor of International Transgender Day of Visibility to share stories and express support for trans rights.
The gathering was prompted by concerns that the current administration's executive orders and public narratives are attempting to twist the truth and repeated attacks from the Trump administration.
Speakers, including Chanynn Lynne Parker , Asher McMaher , Iggy Ladden , Precious Brady-Davis , State Rep. Kelly Cassidy, and Caprice Carthans , emphasized the need for stronger protections and solidarity for the trans community, highlighting the importance of unity and collaboration.
Chanynn Lynne Parker stated, "There is nothing invisible about us," while Asher McMaher emphasized the importance of community unity, Iggy Ladden asserted that "Trans people are not one political party's punching bag and another political party's weakness," and Precious Brady-Davis expressed pride in living in a place where LGBTQ rights are enshrined; additionally, 55% of voters in the 2024 election expressed that support for transgender rights has gone too far.
The event served as a call for stronger protections and highlighted policies in Chicago that offer sanctuary to trans individuals, like housing services, job opportunities, HIV testing and prevention, gender-affirming health care, and the LGBTQ+ history curriculum in schools, in the face of restrictive actions by the Trump administration and increasing state laws targeting LGBTQ+ people.
