Today is the Transgender Day Of Remembrance. This day of remembrance began in 1999 in response to the murders of multiple trans-women. Violence against the 2sLGBTQI+ community continues to be statistically higher, whether it is bullying or physical attacks. Transgender youth also have a much higher rate of suicidality. Today, we remember those who have lost their lives to violence and transphobia. We mourn yesterday to safeguard tomorrow.
