Trans Day of Remembrance - 20th November 2019
- Thread starter Kyuuji
- Start date
Read all of the name, despite it making me feel sick.
Glad that I don't really have to get worried about getting murdered her, can't imagine how affarid trans people in other places of the world must feel.
It's important to remember that this hit poor, trans women of color the most.
Pretty disgusting how they are getting treated around the globe.

Trans rights are human rights.
Thinking of all of my departed brothers and sisters today. I'm glad to see some cis people remembering us too.

I'm sorry but I could not make it through the full list without feeling sick :(
RIP to all the victims and I hope this motivates more people to get involved and advocate for Trans rights.

Actually seeing the numbers laid out like this is just sickening. Rest in peace to all the victims and my heart is with all trans people around the world. You are loved.
This is also a great reminder
This too, especially when they are trying to legislate law that allows discrimination, that won't make it better.
Having a job, money, stability, while it won't make anyone safe, it makes things closer to safety.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS
This should be mandatory reading for every single person on earth. I don't care if it makes you feel sick, this is the hateful reality trans people face every single day.

Definitely a low-ball based on reported deaths with enough information to determine the victim was transgender and the ability to collate that information. Assuming a 0.5% transgender population and a purported 385k homicides per year you would expect approximately 2000 deaths per year without any increased risk.

I will reiterate these lists include details of death. I have not censored the causes of death, as I believe it is important to face the reality behind each victim and the violence they faced.

Rest in peace, all our trans siblings.
Both those who were direct victims of transphobia and the millions who suffered needlessly in the silent agony of having to hide their true selves until they passed.

When dawn breaks again, we'll say our farewells
Our dreams become distant phantoms
The times we were embraced
In the light that chased you
Relying on the warm winds
Heralding spring,
The wild plants start to dance
Summer in Uji,
Such dry, arabesque fields
The round autumn moon,
Risen in celebration
Winter passes,
And I again count the days
Under my eyelids still resides
Vestiges of summer
And those too-distant skies (it was warm)
Holding hands, as we picked the flowers -- we sang
Memories of that evening (I wasn't there)
For three months from August
The clouds fall under the sway of the moon
And I awaken to the fact
That you'll never come back
I realize I'm alone
I'll go on a journey to find you
Now my memories within awaken
And now I start to walk
To wherever you are
Full Lyrics
Rest in Peace
Trans rights are human rights.

This concludes the list of the 331 trans and gender-diverse people reported murdered since the last Trans Day of Remembrance. As others have mentioned, this does not account for all trans people murdered, nor does it account for trans people driven to suicide. It is important we remember those whose names we will never know, while remembering those that we do.
The hours spent reading and writing the list have been emotional to say the least. In both extremes. Each person on that list has a face, many of which you can find with a search. I urge you to do so. Violence against trans people is heartbreaking, but we should not shy away from it. Trans people that lived who they were despite knowing the risk, who didn't let it diminish their pride. In turn, we must not let it diminish ours. It must strengthen our resolve to stamp out transphobia where we see it, and berid spaces of those who would do us harm.
This is not a joke. Even in America you have African American trans women being beaten, shot and burned alive in cars. Trans people elsewhere in the world being stabbed and left in locked rooms to bleed out. Beheaded. Tortured. There is no caveat or asterisk to "Transphobia has no place in society". No flex. No tolerance. If you try to affix one, you're part of the problem. There is no degree of acceptability to this.
Rest in peace to all of those lost.

This concludes the list of the 331 trans and gender-diverse people reported murdered since the last Trans Day of Remembrance. As others have mentioned, this does not account for all trans people murdered, nor does it account for trans people driven to suicide. It is important we remember those whose names we will never know, while remembering those that we do.
The hours spent reading and writing the list have been emotional to say the least. In both extremes. Each person on that list has a face, many of which you can find with a search. I urge you to do so. Violence against trans people is heartbreaking, but we should not shy away from it. Trans people that lived who they were despite knowing the risk, who didn't let it diminish their pride. In turn, we must not let it diminish ours. It must strengthen our resolve to stamp out transphobia where we see it, and berid spaces of those who would do us harm.
This is not a joke. Even in America you have African American trans women being beaten, shot and burned alive in cars. Trans people elsewhere in the world being stabbed and left in locked rooms to bleed out. Beheaded. Tortured. There is no caveat or asterisk to "Transphobia has no place in society". No flex. No tolerance. If you try to affix one, you're part of the problem. There is no degree of acceptability to this.
Rest in peace to all of those lost.

It's not much but I try to help people around me open their hearts and minds a little bit more to things like the struggle of people in the LGBTQ community. One of my good friends and her husband definitely struggle living in the South but although things are bad now there is hope. We just gotta keep pushing forward and reaching out to those in need and letting them know there are communities to help them feel like they belong or have somebody to talk to.

I really hate how transphobic my country is. Worst is you can not even make some people understand that a word like "puto" is transphobic and that you should not use it. We have so much to undone as a country. Mexican insults are mostly gendered and always "denigrate" men´s by comparing them to women´s. Machismo in Mexico kills (probably only Brazil is worst in the continent) and we are sadly not doing much to change this.

Been trying to find this but every other thread about it seems to be closed. Was the discussion followed somewhere else? I don't mean to derail this thread of course.

Trans rights are human rights; an attack on them and their right to simply be who they are--which is something so inoffensively simple to ask of from each individual--is an attack on all of us. And I wish the rest of us who are LGBTQ+ did a better job (in general) of making the T part feel more welcome and safe.
The sad part is that it would so much sense for all people to be united against the forms of masculinity that ultimately hurts everyone. It hurts those that feel pressure to conform to unrealistic standards and have to hide any signs of mental illness. It hurts women by devaluing them as people or equating them with weakness. It hurts people across entire spectra of sex, gender, and orientation and seeks to silence what makes them different.
