Visible or visible identity is a term used to describe transgender people who have transitioned to their desired gender and have informed the people around them about their transgender identity. For example, someone who was AFAB but is now male may move to live somewhere else and tell the new people they meet that they were once AFAB. Said person would be "visible" or have a "visible identity".

People may also choose to be visible in some parts of their lives but not in others, for example one may have a visible identity around their friends but at work they might keep their gender history private.

The opposite of visible is stealth.
