Good morning, Broadsheet readers! ABC News is getting restructured, women open half of the new businesses in the U.S., and people working to protect the trans community want companies to do more. Happy Friday!
- Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Billie Simmons isn’t doing anything special for Trans Day of Visibility. She and her coworkers affirm and uplift trans people all year.
Simmons is the cofounder and COO of Daylight, a fintech and family planning company created by and for the LGBTQ community. Some of the company’s offerings especially help trans and nonbinary people, like the ability for customers to put their chosen name on their credit or debit card. Major banks have added similar offerings in recent years after a study showed that a third of people presenting forms of ID with names incongruent with their gender identity experienced harassment, refusal of service, or violence.
