Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. We honor the memory of transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.

You wouldn’t think honoring them would be controversial, but there’s a lot of well-funded pushback from the far-right websites and organizations that are part of the machinery that seeks to “eradicate” us by any means possible.

All I ask is that you put energy into the cosmos asking for an end to violence against trans people. All people, yes, but please spare a thought and some time for us on this Transgender Day of Remembrance. Many in our community are hurting today as we think of lost loved ones.

Thank you.
