It is also quite a tough day to get through as it brings into sharp focus the risk my siblings in the trans community face. I am in a&nbsp; privileged position in that I am valued and cared for by my employer, I have a supportive community around me and as a white trans man with minimal public profile I am often invisible and therefore broadly safe from transphobia and abuse. <\/p>\n<p>However this does not mean that the seemingly endless torrent of transphobia on social media and in the Press doesn&#8217;t get me down, or that there isn&#8217;t a part of me that worries I will face hostility whenever I have a speaking engagement or panel discussion.
