I may as well toss my info on here again. I'm Kate/Kit and I'm a trans woman. I haven't had a car since June so on the days I work I have to ride my bike 5 miles to and from work. Haven't been able to get a second job despite putting in over 100 applications over the last 6 months. Anything helps to keep my bike in working condition and food in my stomach.

How about we just have like... hey trans people, post your pay links or wishlist or whatever you got. No limits, no trans excluded, intersex welcome, any and all genders off the social conventions included. I'll just reblog em a bunch.
I need a reblog to share your info, please use those, not comments or tags. I try to reblog immediately every instance I see between 10am and 10pm, everything else goes into the queue.
Additionally, Reddit has some donation resources, which are outlined and linked in this post. However, there are potential difficulties associated with these resources, with more details in this post.
Potentially useful links as I find them: Guide to Fundraising.

It is Transgender Day of Remembrance & Resilience (Nov. 20th) once again.
Today is both a day of mourning those we've lost and celebrating those are are still here. It's a day to remember the struggles and sacrifices we and those before us have gone through and a day to celebrate how far we've come. It's a day to take a moment of silence for those we've lost to anti-trans violence and suicide. And it's a day to remember how we have to have to HAVE TO keep going, keep pushing through, keep surviving.
It's no secret, these next 4 years for those of us in the US are gonna be rough. But I'm begging you to stay. Now more than ever, I am begging you to stay. I am begging you to be resilient when you can. I am begging you to try your best.
We owe it to those who came before us who fought for us. We owe to those who came before us who lost their lives to this battle. We owe it to those who will come after us who do not deserve to struggle the way we and our trans ancestors have.
We cannot forget what we've gone through, and we cannot forget those we have lost. We must keep the memory of our trans ancestors and siblings alive, and we must live on for them and for ourselves. We are worth it. We deserve to live.
You are loved. You are so, so loved and so cherished, and I need each and every one of you to remember that. You deserve all the love, respect, and acceptance in this world. You are worthy of it. Please never let anyone or anything ever let you forget that 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 🫂 💛🤍💜🖤

Transgender Day of Rememberance
Today we spend time to remember, love, and appreciate all the trans lives we've lost to bigotry and violence.
I've never been one to remember names, and I truly wish I did. I wish I could tell you the story of trans lives in history from the top of my head, but I can't.
But today I will do my research. I will read and reblog the stories of transgender kids, teenagers, and adults.
We'll think of them fondly, be grateful for their lives and impacts on the people around them. We will mourn the loss of their beautiful lives.
Each and every single trans person to have died at the hand of bigotry is an important life. These people spoke their truth, they were unapologetic about who they were, and i think that's something to look up to.
Every trans person, every person, should have the right to be completely and wholeheartedly themselves. Every trans person deserves to live a full life of happiness and acceptance and love. Every trans person who was taken too soon deserves to be remembered for what they stood for and who they were.
Today we do not forget the suffering that has come before us.
Today we remember that they persevered as long as they could.
Today we also do not forget the suffering of all our trans siblings.
Today we also remember that we will persevere for as long as we can.
We will fight to keep our lives, now more than ever. We will find happiness in the smallest things. Your favorite show. A pretty flower growing between the cracks of a sidewalk. A warm drink on a cold night. Your pets sleeping quietly beside you. The sweet old man who held the door for you at the coffee shop. The goth woman that complimented your shoes. The punk who caught your eye and made a face when someone nearby made a bigoted comment. The friends who sit beside you at your lowest. Human kindness.
No matter what happens next, we will be here for each other.
Hug your trans friends the next time you see them. We really need it right now.

y'know those posts that go "don't kill yourself everyone around you will be sad" have always sounded hollow to me as a trans woman who is routinely mistreated by the people around me

It is technically not transgender day of remembrance anymore but I just want to say that comprehensive trans healthcare in one of the very few states that has it, literally saved my life. I cannot imagine the pain some ppl are in when they are unable to get that care. I think about them all the time. That is all.

Today is transgender day of remembrance ( 2024 ) and this is the first time I’ve heard of it so I wish I had more words. I’m lucky to not have anyone in my personal life to mourn but I’d like to share The Trans Remembrance Project: https://www.transremembrance.org/2024-remembrance-report

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.

2024 Trans Ancestor Rite: Opening Divination
Hello hello, we are glad to be with you again this year, for what we are pretty sure is our eleventh year of ritually honoring the transgender dead in conjunction with the Trans Day of Remembrance. Welcome, new practitioners, and welcome back to those who have joined us before. Thank you for being here.
We are co-organizing our local trans community's TDOR observance (two separate events) this year, which has diverted some attention from setting up this blog and getting the word out online. However, we have consulted our ancestral helping spirits about participating in the ritual again this year, and want to share those results with you all.
Marsha P Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and Leslie Feinberg have all consented again to participating as ancestral helping spirits in the ritual. They can be honored and called on as such. When we asked what offerings they would like this year, Sylvia again requested candy (we have been giving sesame candies), lube, and poppers on the altar. Comrade Feinberg requested "creativity in repair," which we took to mean mending bridges within our local trans community, which has been experiencing some internal strife. Marsha's only request was "joy."
Asked what changes they would like us to make in the ritual format, all said that the new format is working, and the only suggestion came from Comrade Feinberg who told us to add "banishing fear" to the altar. Interpret that as you will.
Sylvia struck a somber tone during our divination, indicating that "success [is] critical" this year. When we asked for clarification, she responded "near dark" and "future unknown." Dark times are coming, and holding one another with these sorts of rituals becomes ever more important.
We asked about adding additional helping spirits to the ritual, and Sylvia told us the timing was wrong - we should incorporate new ancestors during the joyful period of the year, rather than putting them to work right away. We will be looking to call on more ancestors next June in order to bring them in both to receive honor and to help tend the line, so more on that to come in the spring.
Our helping spirit Agdistis, whom your two mods work with as a transgender ancestor, will be involved in our own observance again this year, but not in the public event. We want to minimize their contact on folks who are not skilled spirit workers when emotions are already going to be running so high. We plan to incorporate an element into the altar at the two public events which can absorb pain, sadness, fear, and other difficult ambient emotions from the spaces, which we can then offer to Agdistis separately to help our community metabolize them effectively. If you work with Agdistis, let us know your plans for incorporating them this year.
As we suggested last November, please feel free to incorporate local important transgender and gender nonconforming figures who have served caretaking or leadership roles in life and consent after death to hold the ancestral line in your own ritual. Your mods are based in the greater New York City region and thus work with ancestors localized there - but there is no reason you need to restrict your ritual to working with ancestral helping spirits from far away. Do some divination to find out what well and bright transgender ancestors may be available to serve as helping spirits in the place you call home.
Thank you all for your diligence, for your attention, for your participation, for your solidarity, and for your hard work over these many years. Whether you are joining us for the first time or have been with us from the beginning, we thank you and look forward to working together to bring peace and light to our beloved recent dead. May their memories be a blessing.
Post in the #troe2024 tag and we'll share your altar photos on the blog. Comrade Feinberg signed off with the word "courage," which is what we will leave you with here.
-- Mod Alder

feel weird about tdor being so centered around homicide (the hrc fatal violence report and various other projects) and secondarily suicide
otoh like. i mean yeah that's the point right trans people disproportionately face violence and deal with suicidality across the globe and that's the point.
otoh it feels like the focus on bloody, individual death rather than like. the slow killers of lack of healthcare or discrimination in housing/employment/medicine/etc really fails to capture the moment of 2024 where transness is not some weird thing but a wedge issue in many countries political conversation
idk. ig it partially just steers too close to identity-based martyrdom
