Love and Community on Transgender Day of Visibility

By The Catcall Team

For Trans Day of Visibility in 2026, we wanted to do something special. Not only is Catcall full of trans folks and people who love trans folks, but this is undeniably a heightened time of vulnerability for the trans community. 

Here at Catcall, it’s important to us that trans people are more than visible. We want to make it clear that they are also loved, and that there is a powerful community that will stand up and fight back if you come for them. 

That’s why we’ve invited our trans friends and allies to show visible support for the community, sending a clear message: If you come for our loved ones, you’ll have to come for us too.

When you’re LGBTQ+ or part of another marginalized community in the Midwest, it can be hard to feel truly safe in public spaces—especially now. After coming out as a trans woman, one of the first places I began to feel safe was my local coffee shop. Soon, I became a regular, and grabbing my daily caffeine fix was my sacred ritual. What’s gayer than iced coffee after all?

As the self-proclaimed coffee queen of Catcall (re: I tried every Chappell Roan-themed drink when she played KC in October), I’m rounding up some of my favorite inclusive coffee shops in the hopes it’ll help folks feel a little safer choosing their next spot. Whether you’re looking for great coffee, a sense of community, or just want somewhere new to chill, one of these places is sure to be your vibe—plus you’ll be supporting some pretty awesome local businesses.
