Two TikTok creators collected in six hours over $1 million for trans health care through a 30-hour “TikTok-a-Thon' fundraiser to celebrate Friday’s Transgender Day of Visibility.

. The hosts, along with Point of Pride president and co-founder Aydian Dowling, have taken turns engaging with viewers throughout the continuous stream.

Dowling said he felt"disbelief and excitement" when the fundraiser hit its goal. He said the fundraiser sends a strong signal in a fraught political and cultural climate for trans people. "It's tremendously powerful and sends a very clear message to the community and outside our community that we're valid and we're here and it's time to have a different conversation that doesn't eliminate us, but rather includes us," Dowling said.
