(adj.) Outvisible is the opposite of invisible-- the opposite of the kind of invisibility that is enforced by oppressive social structures. The term, "out" is a common shortening of the colloquialism, "out of the closet" often used to refer to lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) persons who do not hide their sexual orientation or gender identity. That use of the term, "out" is prefixed to the word "visible" to express a life lived with honest openness, especially in, but not limited to, the LGBT Community.
