As the transgender community celebrates this year's Transgender Day of Visibility, it is also grappling with legislation considered anti-trans in states across the country.
Music has been Crispin Torres' hobby for 25 years. He is also one of 1.6 million people in America over the age of 13 who identify as transgender.
"There's 355 active anti-trans bills, nationally. It's, it's wild. And then there's over 400 anti-LGBTQ bills," Torres said. "They can legislate anything that they want, and they'll never legislate us out of existence," Torres said. "Trans visibility, to me, is about creating positive and joyful stories for trans people to see themselves represented in the world."
