Happy Trans* Day of Visibility!

Trans people are mappers, and hackers, and cartographers, and have always been a part of the OpenStreetMap community.

The OpenStreetMap project is creating a freely licenced map of the world, based on how things actually are, based on how they act, and appear, not based on what some government says. OSM is trans positive.

The community is massive, and spread out, often by language or country. Different groups use different ways to communicate. There's an index of all different communication channels, and for each region, which are the methods to use to talk to local mappers there.
