Madonna Celebrates Trans Day of Visibility Alongside Alex Consani: ‘Thank You to All For Showing Up’

With Monday (March 31) marking the annual International Transgender Day of Visibility, pop superstar Madonna took a moment to celebrate the community with a post to her social media.

Sharing a series of photos from a fundraising fashion show she attended over the weekend to her Instagram account — including a photo with trans model Alex Consani — Madonna thanked her fans for continuing to show up in support of queer and trans people’s rights in 2025, while also celebrating yet another milestone in her career.

“Happy Trans Visibility Day!! And Happy 40th anniversary of my first film- Desperately Seeking Susan,” the singer wrote in her caption. “We celebrated this weekend by attending a fashion show called, MOTHER -DAUGHTER-HOLY SPIRIT!! All money raised will go to the Trans Justice Funding Project! Thank you, to All for showing up.”

Consani, who made history as one of the first transgender models to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2024, shared Madonna’s post to her account while adding a message of her own to her Instagram Stories. “It’s important, now more than ever to remind ourselves how beautiful, powerful, and creative our community is,” she wrote. “We must lead with love and understanding, even when those around us don’t care to do the same. Listen to the trans people around you, give them love and let them know they are heard.”

Earlier this month, Madonna got candid in a post to her Instagram Stories about watching attacks against the trans community grow over the past few years. “It breaks my heart to witness the pain of Trans people who are not accepted by a society that fears them because they are different,” she wrote at the time. “The excitement people get from watching people go down or be silenced, be blacklisted … is disturbing. The enjoyment we get from other people’s pain is a sin.”

According to GLAAD, Transgender Day of Visibility was started back in 2010 when trans activist Rachel Crandall created the international holiday as a means of focusing on celebrating “the lives of transgender people” rather than simply focusing on violence and discrimination against the community. In 2025, the holiday has come into sharp focus in the U.S. as the current presidential administration continues to openly dismantle the rights and freedoms of trans people around the country.
