I've gone to a few convenience stores, cafes, and restaurants with workers who proudly wear trans pins and shirts while operating their front register, and I gotta
every timeThere's this transguy at the cornerstone I want to befriend. We're up to talking about cool birds and capitalist "innovations" that suck ass. Eventually I'm gonna invite him to hang out hopefully.
I don't really know any trans people that would pretend that "visibly trans" is not a thing when "passing" and "stealth" are things too.
Like, it's necessary language to describe something. I might not say it directly to someone but speaking generally about the topic there is a state of "visibility". Also the less visible you are the less shit you get so it tracks that being visibly trans you have to be brave as hell.
I dunno I'm just not that interested in policing this one. Rude to say it directly to me on a bad day, but it's fine otherwise. In my opinion at least.
depends on where you go with it, but in the abstract i think that wording is fine. it can mean people having pronoun pins, trans flags, etc
I think it'd be rude to just tell someone they're visibly trans without them asking, but I think as a thing to discuss in the abstract it's totally fine. it also doesn't necessarily mean "not passing", it could also mean "wearing trans pride clothes / pins / jewelry / etc."
One of the buildings in the organisation I work for has a visibly trans receptionist. By all accounts she has no problem calling out what she considers disrespect, if she feels someone has mistreated her. Respect.
