🏳️‍⚧️👩‍⚖️#Noticia I Ante la mirada y asistencia de líderes y lideresas sociales de Barranquilla, @vkolakowski, primera Jueza trans de los Estados Unidos y activista de los derechos de la población LGBTI, cuenta como inició su transición y cómo obtuvo su primera oportunidad laboral.

🏳️‍⚧️"Yo quería ser jueza para concientizar a las personas del común y a jueces de que las personas trans podemos llegar a altos cargos, y derrumbar prejuicios como que las personas trans solo trabajan en las calles. Fue difícil, pero lo he logrado", @vkolakowski

🏳️‍⚧️"No dejes que te etiqueten. Somos más que personas trans, nosotras podemos tener habilidades políticas. Debemos persistir y resistir. Además de visibilizarnos y mostrar que estamos trabajando", @vkolakowski

Just a reminder that there are great panel presentations planned for tomorrow, 10/4, to remember Gwen Araujo and talk about trans rights. I will be a moderator, as will my wife, @vkolakowski .

And me! I will be moderating a panel as well. Never Forget Gwen Araujo.

Today is the Transgender Day of Visibility. I’m proud to be transgender and visible every day. But I’m even prouder that being transgender is only a small part of who I am. #TransDayofVisability #TransDayOfVisibility2023

This is a positive post for me and many transgender people, including students, future students, attorneys, and so many more. In a time of division, this statement of celebration and recognition is very important.

It is a responsibility that we all take very seriously. I eagerly await the second installment.
