It's Transgender Day of Remembrance. Here is this year's list of the dead.

[laurierthefox]

Bonjour à toustes.

Aujourd'hui c'est le 20 novembre, c'est le #TDOR (Transgender Day of Remembrance, Journée du souvenir trans), le jour ou on se souviens de nos adelphes mort'es : assassiné'es et suicidé'es.

Selon les chiffres de Human Right Campaign et Trans Murder Monitoring Project depuis un an, environ 321 personnes trans et non binaire sont mortes du fait de la transphobie.

Si vous ne voulez pas passer ce moment seul'e vous pouvez vous tournez vers vos associations trans et LGBTI+ qui font des recueillement publique ou en ligne ce soir.

Plein de force, d'amour et de soutien pendant ce temps de recueillement.

I missed the Trans Day of Remembrance ceremony my local lgbtq center did, so I did my own tiny home ceremony:

I wrote the names of all the people who died on a piece of paper. I then carried that paper around all day before finally going home, saying a little, for lack of a better word, prayer, rinsing the ink off the paper, crumpling it up, and tearing it apart

It's not much, but it was a bit cathartic

hey, i made a thing for Transgender Day of Remembrance---if you're in a good enough place mentally, maybe check it out

IN MEMORIUM - TDoR 2023 on Scratch (mit.edu)

details are in the project description, but obviously, TW: murder, suicide, violence, transphobia

additional notes:

the project is currently unfinished, but it WILL be finished eventually.

it was... both emotionally taxing and cathartic to make, and my hope is that it will be in some ways cathartic for anyone who wishes to mourn those trans people who died or were killed in the last year. however, the target audience is people who aren't yet aware of the scale of the violence against trans people.

Today is November 20, the TDoR: the Transgender Day of Remembrance. It's a day when we remember our beloved dead, those murdered for being transgender or gender non-conforming.

Each year, the List of Names seems to grow longer.

Each day, I wonder if that's the day I get added to the List of Names.

Christians will tell me it's vital to be loving to all whom we encounter, because all people are children of GOD.

But I don't know how or even WHY to do this.

Why, in the Names of GOD and the Beloved Dead, should I show compassion to those who hate us even unto death?

I see a lot of people saying and posting, "Mourn the dead, and fight like hell for the living." And yet, many of those who share these words won't even confront the transphobes in their lives.

How can you say you love us while also saying you love our oppressors? Why should we trust you?

@fyouimgay2 Sorry but---

I did an illustration for Trans Day of Remembrance today at work.

Our little community contains so much anger and grief, but it's because we love each other so fiercely. We remember our dead because their memory keeps us stubborn.

I love all of us today, and I hope you do too.

I'm a day late but in honour of Trans Day of Remembrance please remember that you are alive and that is enough

model living to the next generation of trans people.

there are children, teenagers, young adults, middle aged and elderly trans people who are newly out, or not out yet at all, who need to see living trans people.

sometimes it is so hard it doesn't feel worth it, but you must remember who is watching, hoping to learn how to live.

It’s Yesterday was Trans Day of Remembrance

To any trans person who sees this and needs to hear it; I see you. I’m here.

Im sorry we live in a world that can be so brutal to us.

I see you, even if I don’t know you. Thank you for existing; you enrich the world just by your presence, without doing anything, even if you can’t be out.

If you need a friend through tough times and feel you can’t find one elsewhere, my DMs are safe and confidential.

For cis people who want to know what this is about, please Google it. It is important that you know.

So much love to you all on this November day. Mourn the dead, grieve. When you are ready, fight for the living, the best you can. We need each other more than ever at times like this.

(Got the day wrong, but it still applies!)

Un anno fa, sempre in occasione del Transgender Day of Remembrance, dedicavo nel mio piccolo un pensiero alle vittime di transfobia del 2022. Alle ferite di questa comunità se ne sono aggiunte purtroppo, seppur in modo tristemente prevedibile, tante altre anche quest’anno.

Eppure, a tormentarmi dall’anno scorso, c’è una vicenda in particolare, perché dolorosamente emblematica della situazione di un paese come il nostro dove il marciume nasce e si propaga dalle sue più profonde radici: le istituzioni.

Questa qui è rimasta chiusa nel cassetto finora da quel maledetto giugno 2022. Ma oggi è tempo di ricordare, meditare, mandare a memoria.

Today we honour the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.

"We need to fight for our rights and to prevent erasure. Remember those who were lost, and fight for justice." Gwendolyn Ann Smith

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) was started in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998.

TGEU Trans Murder Monitoring project, (tgeu.org) has released the 2024 annual data report for 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2024:

350

trans and gender diverse people were reported murdered since the 2023 update. This is a significant increase in comparison with the previous year.

Transphobic violence is in no way subsiding, and on the contrary, is increasing, aided by growing anti-trans hate speech.

Most victims were Black and trans women of colour, and trans sex workers.

This year, the total number of recorded murders has crossed 5,000 cases since TGEU began monitoring in 2008.

Consistent with previous years, 94% of the reported murders were femicides, i.e the victims were trans women or transfeminine people.

Sex workers remain the most targeted group of all known occupations.

93% of the reported murders were of Black or Brown trans people.

One-third of reported murder victims were aged 31 to 40, and a quarter were aged 19-25.

15 trans youth under the age of 18 years (nearly 6% of the total) were murdered.

Many cases remain unreported or misreported due to misgendering.

Not every trans and gender diverse murder victim is recognised as such in death reports.

Today I remember the transgender people whose lives have been lost to anti-transgender violence this year and over the years. I send love and solidarity to all trans and gender nonconforming people today and going forward.

TDOR 2023

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance. We remember and honor those that we've lost to anti-trans violence. If you have lost someone trans dear to you because of hatred, we stand with you...we also sit with you and comfort you. The lives lost were beautiful and strong and undeserving of such hatred. Their spirits will never be forgotten.

[transformationsproject]

#TDoR is not just a time to remember trans people lost to violence.

It is a time to examine systems that are complicit in trans violence and the role we play in them, so the systems of violence can be transformed.

Even more were killed globally: https://tgeu.org/trans-murder-monitoring-2023/
