Inspirational messages and selfies flooded social media yesterday with #TransDayOfVisibility, in celebration of the International Transgender Day of Visibility. The day was started in 2010, by the head of Transgender Michigan Rachel Crandall. According to the event's website, Crandall wanted to celebrate the trans community and fight transphobia by raising awareness of the trans community.

"To be unapologetic in my truth is revolutionary. Today is a day to honor those who want to be visible," LGBT advocate and trans woman Ahya told Bustle. "However we still honor those who do not participate. And affirm them. So I think TDOV is a constant action of revolution. You change paradigms by simply existing. What a super power!?"

See just a few of the beautiful, eye-opening #TransDayofVisibilty selfies below.
