OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Michelle McCane, D-Tulsa, proudly acknowledges Trans Day of Visibility on March 31, a day dedicated to celebrating the resilience, achievements, and contributions of transgender and non-binary individuals in our communities as well as bringing awareness to the violence and discrimination they frequently face.

As a leader committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive society, McCane recognizes the importance of affirming the identities of all individuals. Education and awareness play a critical role in building understanding, empathy, and respect for diverse experiences. She remains dedicated to advocating for policies that ensure all people feel seen, valued, and safe in our state.

"While transgender and non-binary people make up less than 1% of Oklahomans, they deserve to feel respected and supported," said McCane. "Our transgender and non-binary neighbors face many obstacles, and it is important to take this opportunity to celebrate and learn. I stand with the transgender and non-binary community in the fight for equity, dignity, and inclusion and will continue to bring their voice to the capitol."

To mark this day McCane encourages her constituents and community members to engage in meaningful conversations, learn more about transgender experiences, and uplift the voices of trans and non-binary individuals. By doing so, we strengthen our commitment to justice and equality for all.
