Today is [Transgender Day of Remembrance][wp], a.k.a. TDoR. According to
|
|
|
|
|
[translivesmatter.info][tlm], 427 trans people were killed or committed suicide
|
|
|
|
|
in 2024. This is a worldwide tragedy.

With the spectre of political violence looming large in the US, and right wing
|
|
|
|
|
politicians doubling down on attacking trans people -- kids and adults alike --
|
|
|
|
|
this feels like a particularly scary time to be trans.

Please join me in [saying their names][names] and remembering them. 🕯️
