Every November 20th is the Transgender Day of Remembrance is when we memorize the trans-people who were murdered in the last 12 months. We remember trans people who were murdered for who they were; not for money or passion but were murdered but because of hate. They were killed because they had the courage to live their lives as the person they were.
This year’s TDOR is particularly poignant because of not knowing what we face with President-elect Trump. Fear is running rampant in the LGBT community. Will we be banned from using the bathroom of our gender identity, will we be unable to change our gender and our name on Social Security, Medicare, passport and other federal documents?
The vigil is heald all around the U.S. and the world nd you can find a place for where you can attend a TDOR here.
A list of the names of the people who were murded this year can be found below the TDOR locations in Connecticut.
