If you follow any trans people here you’ll probably see some posts about Trans Day of Remembrance today.

Like everyone, we all have special days we mark… birthdays, those of loved ones, anniversaries, graduation dates, first kiss, when we got a beloved pet.

But there are two days we in the trans community all mark.
One of them being Trans Day of Visibility in March and the other today, Trans Day of Remembrance. .

#TDoV is essentially: “Hey! Look at us. We really do exist.”
#TDoR is: “Please stop murdering us.”

There have been at least 30 trans and gender diverse people who have been killed this year. There have been too many trans people who have attempted suicide and so many who think about it constantly because local, state and federal governments actively and deliberately make it difficult for us to exist.

We need your help allies. Speak up in our defense when you can.
