Its currently February 1st. This got unpublished sometime between November and now and I didnt notice. Im really sorry about that.
Today, November 20, is Transgender Day of Remembrance. On this day we honour the trans people who were victims of fatal hate crimes. This year, at least 34 transgender or gender non-conforming people have been murdered by violent means in the United States. This number is likely higher; victims are, to this day, often misgendered in local police statements and media reports, which can delay awareness of deadly incidents. The majority of these victims were Black transgender women living at the intersection of racism, homophobia, and transphobia. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and HIV-affected Hate Violence Report from the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs shows that, in 2016 (the last year this report was published), 79 percent of LGBTQ+ people murdered were people of color, 68 percent were transgender or gender non-conforming, and 61 percent were transgender women of color. Below are the people we are honoring this year. Please just take a few minutes out of your day to remember them and wish them well, wherever they may be.
