Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Around the world, hundreds of transgender people are murdered every year. Today, I grieve for and honor the lives of my transgender sisters, brothers, and siblings whose lives were lost to senseless violence.
Killings of transgender people worldwide are on an upward trajectory year over year. In the US, 2020 has been the worst year on record, with at least 28 documented cases – worldwide, the number is over 350. Since January of 2008, there have been 3664 reported cases (Source). These rates are disproportionate, unjust, and unacceptable.
I also acknowledge that of those whom we've lost this year, 95% were trans women or transfeminine. 62% of those with known occupation were sex workers, and within the US, 79% were people of color (Source), with Black Trans women being especially frequent targets. None of these things – being Black, being trans, or being a woman – should ever make one the target of violence. Black Lives Matter. Black Trans Lives Matter.
I grieve for my siblings who lost their lives for being themselves, and I grieve for my siblings who lost their lives before they ever got to be themselves, who are deadnamed in the news and on their tombstones.
And though this day is focused on homicide, I also grieve for my siblings who took their own lives as a result of the burdens placed on them by their societies.
Even among the many of us who are thankfully alive today, I stand with and feel deeply for my siblings who have lost their homes, families, loves, friends, or jobs for being trans, who have been refused healthcare, who can't come out for fear of their safety, and who can't transition to their liking due to a lack of availability or funds.
I believe in the narrative that being transgender is, quintessentially, a happy experience. I believe that none of these many hardships are intrinsic to being trans. I believe that queerness is beautiful and normal, that self-realization is a worthy pursuit, and that transness is defined by positives.
However, these beliefs must coincide with the facts, today and on every other day. And the fact is, many of our lives are harder than they need to be, and many are cut short. So today is a Day of Remembrance. Rest in Power.

(A Note: I built this in May, but waited until today to post it. The only reason that the majority of the figures here have light skin is because I ran out of dark transparent pieces – a more accurate representation would be if at least two of the figures had darker skin. I considered not posting the piece for this reason, but ultimately decided that an inaccurate memorial is better than no memorial at all, and that I could at least set the record straight in the description.)
Learnt a valuable lesson whilst working in my heeled boots for TDOR yesterday. Don't stand in one spot for a prolonged period of time without moving around. Stayed in one spot for too long and my feet were killing me so much so I'd changed back into my trainers after lunch.
On a positive note my female friends did I walk better than they do in heels so I guess that a positive.
Loved wearing them shame about my poor feet 😢 xx ♥️ ♥️

The Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR – pronounced “tee-door”), was set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event founded by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a transgender woman, was held on November 20 to initially honor Rita Hester of Allston, Massachusetts, whose murder on November 28th, 1998 kicked off the “Remembering Our Dead” web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Rita Hester’s murder, like most anti-transgender murder cases, has yet to be solved.
The Transgender Day of Remembrance serves several purposes. It raises public awareness of hate crimes against transgender people. The Day of Remembrance publicly mourns and honors the lives of our brothers and sisters who might otherwise be forgotten. The vigil allows for the expression of love and respect for Trans people in the face of national indifference and hatred. The Day of Remembrance reminds non-transgender people that we are their sons, daughters, parents, friends and lovers. The Day of Remembrance gives allies a chance to step forward and stand in vigil, memorializing those of who have died by anti-transgender violence.
For 2017 in the St. Louis Metro area, three (3) Transgender Day of Remembrance vigils have been planned. To maximize participation, one of those events will take place on Sunday, November 19, in St. Louis County, announcement flyer attached. The second TDoR event will take place in St. Charles County on Monday, November 20 and the third event with a march to the Transgender Memorial Garden and vigil there led by the Metro Trans Umbrella Group (MTUG) will also take place on the evening of Monday, November 20.
In just the first ten (10) months (January – October) of 2017 alone, 25 violent deaths of transgender individuals have been reported by LGBT focused media in the United States. Sadly, two (2) of those deaths (Kiwi Herring and Amy Steinfeld) took place in Missouri. Please take a few moments to review and consider these recent tragedies that have befallen our sisters and brothers, as indicated in the links, below:

Excactly one year ago on 20th november 2020, on TDoR, I got my court order to be legal Awena, a woman. This was the best gift in my life. I never will forget this day.
We still must fight together against intolerance, non-acceptance, discrimination, refusal of our right of self-determination, violation of our human rights, murderung transgender for being themselves, for being trans.
We are humans, we love and live our life.
Have a nice weekend and week, stay safe and healthy.

Today 20th november is TDoR - Transgender Day of Remembrance.
TDoR remembers the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.
Between october 2019 and september 2020 worldwide 350 transgender were murdered for being themselves, for being trans.
Being transgender is not a choice.
Choosing to not murder, not hurt, not discriminate, not harass, not insult transpeople is a choice.
Inspite of all circumstances stay brave, support each other, live your life. Being transgender means to be courageous.

TDOR 2018 ... then a stop at my local pub to watch the second half of the CFL Western Final :-) ... where I socialized with three patrons whom I had never met before, had a great time. And they bought me a glass of wine :-)

Today is International Transgender Day of Remembrance and also the day chosen by Gendered Intelligence for their Stop The Silence campaign as part of National Anti-Bullying week in the UK.
Both of these occasions are inextricably connected. I believe that bullying of trans and gender non-conforming kids, and the murder of trans adults, starts in the same place: ignorance, fear and hatred of people who are “different”. It starts at those moments when someone decides that another person is not a “good enough man” or “good enough woman”, when someone is labelled as a freak or somehow less human, and that becomes an excuse for them to be attacked with words or actions. All of this thrives on silence, and on the shame and isolation which breeds in that silence.
Here’s what Gendered Intelligence say:
The majority of young people who don't fit traditional gender norms are bullied. Bullied in the street, bullied at home, bullied at school - by pupils AND teachers.
Gendered Intelligence launched the Stop Our Silence campaign to raise awareness of gender-based bullying, to raise funds to run youth groups, and to show solidarity with all young people who are being silenced because of who they are.
Not all young people are able to speak out about the discrimination they face, for fear of recrimination or of not being taken seriously by people who should be protecting them. Gendered Intelligence are asking allies of young trans people to stand up to bullying. We're so often told that trans and gender non-conforming people don’t really exist - that we shouldn't exist - that there's nobody else like us out there. This is about breaking our silence and celebrating who we are.
Customarily, the St. Louis Gender Foundation’s November dinner meeting has had a “Thanksgiving” theme. For this year of 2021, however, the 3rd Saturday of November fell on the 20th which is the same date as the Transgender Day of Remembrance, also referred to as TDoR (pronounced, tee – door).
This coincidence potentially created an awkward situation if we chose a Thanksgiving theme on a solemn day of remembrance for the transgender community. But at the same time, it would not have been very much fun to conduct a dinner meeting along the lines of a funeral wake.
The solution to this conundrum was found in the enthusiasm associated with a Second Line style New Orleans Funeral Parade wherein participants dance down the street in celebration of those lives passed.
We, in turn, slipped into our little black dresses to show our respect for those whom preceded us in making the nearly 50 years of history that is the St. Louis Gender Foundation. Our group dressed in black displayed our respect for such StLGF leaders as our founder, Sheri Enteman, as well as notable past-presidents, such a Jaimie Edwards and Jennifer Richards. It was Ms. Richards who led the StLGF to host the 1995 Fall Harvest Conference in St. Louis.
If those souls were still alive with us today, I think they would even approve of our holding a LBD contest in their honor ! !
Sunday afternoon outing to the Transgender Day of Remembrance event. Always well attended, parking at a premium, I left the house around 1pm to ensure that I didn't have to walk too far in my pumps and would be guaranteed a seat. Once again, the list of names read was constrained to 30 minutes ... far, FAR too many of us taken by violence. The names did not include those who committed suicide. It's a tough event to sit through, but I feel it necessary to show support for us all.
After this photo was taken, I decided to don some black hose to try to combat a bit of the chill in the air.
After the event my friend Blaire and I walked to a nearby cafe to chat. Then I drove north to my neighbourhood pub to watch the second half of the CFL Western Final over a couple of beer.
Today 20th november is TDoR - Transgender Day of Remembrance.
TDoR remembers the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.
Between october 2020 and september 2021 worldwide 462 transgender were murdered for being themselves, for being trans.
Being transgender is not a choice.
Choosing to not murder, not hurt, not discriminate, not harass, not insult transpeople is a choice.

Today was Transgender Day of Remembrance.
TransAction did a lot of events for TDOR and today we met up for the TDOR rally. It was freezing outside and raining on and off, yet about maybe 120 people showed up to listen and show their support. My best friend came to interpret for me [and anyone else who needed someone to sign, I think it was only me though]. The poor girl's hands nearly froze as she interpreted. I really appreciated her being there and I just generally felt really grateful for many things.
I've always had issues with my own body, feeling upset that it changed into something that I did not want after puberty hit. It has taken many years for me to really understand why I had a such hard time connecting with my own body... and well I guess even to this day I don't completely understand it. But I know this much, meeting all the amazing genderqueers, trans*, queers, butches, femmes, androgynes, and so many more people of various identities [and/or no identities] in the rainbow and becoming a part of the community has helped me SO much. When I started this project I didn't even have one gender variant friend in person and now 199 days later I have so many. It's definitely one of the reasons why I can look at myself, feel proud to be who I am, and know it'll be alright. I honestly cannot even really explain how much changes this has brought to me, but for the first time in a long time I'm feeling a lot more content with myself, and it's a really nice feeling.
Thanks everybody. <3
p.s I must also thank Sarah for interpreting all night long. That meant SO much to me, thank you.

My VC sister Stephanie had come down from Edmonton to speak at the Transgendered Day of Remembrance (TDOR) in Calgary. Four of us went out for dinner then to a sold-out performance in Inglewood. Needless to say, a good time was had by all :-)
This was my first attendance at a Transgendered Day of Remembrance. It also followed the morning after the night before - not my usual routine :-) A number of us met for brunch at Donegal's Irish Pub, then drove down for the service. It was an emotional eye-opener. Many of our sisters suffer persecution to the point of vicious murders. I am so saddened by the state of humanity.

Marking the Transgender Day of Remembrance in November, the Rev. Peter Friedrichs drops stones into water as members of the congregation read the names of transgender people who died in 2015.
Friedrichs—minister of the UU Church of Delaware County since 2006—is “a multidimensional leader who brings a warmth and intellectual depth” to the congregation, says Patricia Infante, Regional Faith Development consultant for the Unitarian Universalist Association.

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of those whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.
It was a cold, windy day for the Transgender Day of Remembrance. I can remember tilting into the wind with my hand on my head going to my car! Blaire and I were in attendance this year and finished the afternoon once again with a libation. I then watched the 4th quarter of the CFL Western Final at my neighbourhood pub, Moustache Petes.

The building of this church on the site of former temples began in 1880.
It holds the statue of the town’s patron saint, La Purisima Concepcion. This image arouses popular fervour in Torrevieja, especially on the two occasions a year that it is taken out for processions: December 8 and Easter Sunday.
As well as its high altar there are other notable sculptures such as the image of the body of Jesus, Christ Crucified, the Virgen del Carmen and others of unusual beauty.

Today is Transgender Day of Rememberance (TDOR), which started in order to remember those who have been lost their lives to transphobic violence and discrimination.
This falls on the 20th November each year in memory of Rita Hester and all over the world candlelit vigils and events will be held to remember the hundreds of people who have been killed within the last 12 months. "Hundreds" is the tip of the iceberg - transgender hate crimes are not properly recorded in many parts of the world. Then there are the horrifyingly numerous suicides when internalised hatred and other people's prejudice become to much to bear.
Trans people are ordinary people who don't feel 100% like the gender they were labelled with at birth. They, like everybody else, are somewhere on the spectrum. Sometimes they feel like they are at the opposite end. Sometimes they feel like they are somewhere in between. There is no one way of describing a trans person's experience.
No one "chooses" to be trans - it's just how some people are.
The only choices are around social and physical expressions of gender e.g. physical appearance, name, pronouns or even just asking for people to respect their preference not be crammed into little boxes labelled "male" or "female". Very often, those "choices" come down to a basic need to make life bearable enough to continue with.
Like so many other things, "trans" is not perverted or broken - it's just another "difference". And our amazing, intricate diversity is one of the things that makes us human.
