Editorial: It Is Their Decision.

[Editorial]

I recently read about someone who chose to detransition. And it brought to mind many of the lessons I’ve gathered over the years.

I’ve been on this road a long time. I came out in 1999, found my way to the Connecticut Outreach Society, and in time became one of its officers. I sat in the circle at Twenty Club meetings, listened, learned, and eventually made my way to the Gender Identity Clinic of New England. I got my papers in 2004, and by 2007, I had completed my own transition.

Over all those years, one truth settled into my bones: gender is a spectrum, and each of us walks our path at the pace that’s right for us. Some feel the need to transition immediately; others, like me, take our time, feeling our way forward step by steady step.

I’ve heard every kind of story along the way—some unexpected, some tender, some difficult. I’ve met people who were turned away from clinics for this reason or that. One woman demanded everything now, and when the clinic declined, she packed her bags for Thailand. People find their routes in all sorts of ways.

And yes, I’ve known those who detransitioned. They did so for many reasons. A few realized it was the right choice for them. Some simply couldn’t make ends meet—one woman couldn’t find a job and had to return to her parents’ home. Two later found their way back and retransitioned. One was simply ahead of her time: she transitioned early, faced a world not yet ready for her, and later, when the climate had changed, she stepped forward again.

But across all these stories, there’s a thread that binds them. Every one of them picked up their life and carried on. They didn’t linger in bitterness. They didn’t let themselves be used as symbols by those who misunderstand or oppose us. They didn’t tear down others walking this path.

They simply gathered their pieces, held their heads high, and moved forward.

There’s wisdom in that, I think.

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance, the past I have post the list of names, it take a heavy toll on us. So I just post a link to the list here.

 

This is from a TDOR march to the capitol to read the names, it is circa 2005

 

Thank You Governor Lamont!

 

Over Two Decades

And what has changed?

It has been over two decades since I first attended a Day of Remembrance. Going back to my old GeoCities [Warning: My virus software has flagged this link but found no problems] blog in 2001 I wrote...

The "Day of Remembrance". I just got back from the vigil that was held in Hartford. I read the name of Ontwon Curtis, On September 13^th of this year she was murdered. She was shot several times in the chest at her home in Newport News, Virginia. Andrew Coleman has been arrested for her murder.

I had a very difficult time reading that statement out loud. It brings home the point that people will kill one another just because they are different, that they are just trying to be whom they are inside, to be themselves.

2002...

2003...

Last night I went to the "Day of Remembrance" vigil in Hartford. They filled the room with people who came out for it at the MCC chapel in the Community Center. They had a number of good speakers there and these two I thought stood out.

The speaker from the Anti-Defamation League spoke about the time he was over in Germany a couple of years ago. He was walking around a city in the old East German sector looking for the Synagogue. He saw an Orthodox Jew and he went over to ask him where the Synagogue was. The Orthodox Jew said that he was on the way there now and was welcome to come along with him. As he was walking along with him he could hear kids laughing and taunting them. At first he was embarrass, but as he walked he started to straighten his back and walk tall, proud of whom he is. He said it made him aware of what it is like to be identified by what you wear, to be singled out by how you dress. And through that experience it helped him imagine what it is like every day for us in the transgender community.

The other speaker spoke about her youth. First when she and her friend were asked to leave a church because of her friend. The second incident was when she was bused to a white school in New Jersey, out of all the children that were bused to the other school, only her friend they did not accept and was sent back to her old school. A little while latter her friend committed suicide. Why? Because, she was a Transsexual.

I went up to read one of the names and I had a hard time doing it, my eyes were all tears. It was a very emotional time. As I sat back down in my seat the woman next to me touch my hand and just nodded slightly, she was from the ACLU. And her gesture brought on more tears.

And now I attend another TDoR, what has changed?

 

The list has gotten longer, that is the only thing that has changed.

You can see the list of those who were murdered this here.

uniTy TDoR speech.

We are here tonight to remember the members of our community who were murdered just because of who they were. All they wanted was to live their life as their true selves but hate got in their way.

These trans people were the targets of the hate that has been boiling to a head over the last 8 years, and it has been getting worst every year.

The people that we are remembering here today are not victims but rather the targets of the politicians that are stirring up hate against not only us but all those who are different. 

We are lucky here in the Blues states where people have empathy for others and our rights was to the test on a ballot questions, here in 2018 Massachusetts the ballot questions 3 passed by a wide margin, the vote was approximately 68% voted "Yes" to keep the law.

In California a proposal to repeal protections for transgender students was defeated. In Colorado a ballot measure regarding protections for LGBTQ+ individuals, including transgender rights, passed. In New York the voters passed a constitutional ballot question protecting us.

Notice that every time our human rights were put to the test in a ballot initiative we won!

The University of Minnesota conducted a poll about us in 2022 and what they found was that 83%, yes that is 83% thought that transgender people deserve the same rights as other Americans!

The people are behind us!

I am old enough to remember the Lavender Scare of 1950! Which were Congressional hearings on “Homosexuals” by Republican Senator McCarthy… “Are you now a homosexual or have you ever been a homosexual?”

We made it through that and then along came in the 1970s, the “Save Our Children” campaign by Anita Bryant where they accused gay men molesting boys in bathrooms and wanted gay teachers out of the schools. Many states passed Constitutional amendments criminalize us, some of the laws are still on the books.

Once again we made it through the dark times but now new dark days are with us. What is different this time is that there is big money behind it. And that it has turned violent!

Now we are see an increase in bias crimes (I use Bias Crimes instead of Hate Crimes because not all discrimination is based on hate.).

In 2022 there was a 35% increase, in 2023 there was 3.6% increase and according to the FBI in 2021: 307 offenses, 2022: 515 offenses, and in 2023: 547 offenses. What used to be covert is now overt!

I wish we had a way to end bias crimes but no one sees a magical way to end them when podcasters spread their lies, or when politicians green light the violence.

I wish that I could say that the worst is behind us, but I can’t. We have dark days ahead of us but we will get through it together!

As we seen in the elections fifty percent of the voters support the lies and violence! Fifty percent of the people support bigotry and hatred, The language that the politicians used was horrible and it has given a green light to the violence we are now seeing.

So… What can we do?

It is as simple as being ourselves. Research has shown when someone knows a trans person they are more likely to be supportive of the community. I did outreach earlier in the month. What was the “outreach” it was simply I voted. But I had to stand in line for 40 minutes… talking to people.

We talked about... do remember the 5 and 10 cent store… The Red and White store we used to go in and get hot chocolate after skating on the paper-goods pond?… Yeah, I wonder how long the new store will last there no store seems to make a go of it there…

I have a blog and on Saturdays I play a meme that asks 9 questions and we all give our answers, most of the players are Christian women and now they know a trans woman and it changed the way that they think of us.

We move  people’s hearts, just being ourselves. We don’t have to testify at a hearing, we don’t have to go to schools to speak. The most effective means of changing people minds is changing them one mind at a time be just being ourselves.

We will always be targets of bigotry and violence but we and our allies can work for peace and change people minds. We are survivors!

You are a member of a community and communities support one another, and we have allies who will watch our backs for us and that is why we are here tonight to remember our dead.

There is a Latin phrase that I remember at times like this it say… "Ne permittas bastardus te deprimere"

“Don’t let the bastards get you down!”

Transgender Day of Remembrance

Transgender Day of Remembrance

Every November 20th is the Transgender Day of Remembrance is when we remember the trans-people who were murdered in the last 12 months. They 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 TDoRs will be held in person and I will be attending it will be the MCC Hartford church's TDoR.)

When I went to my first TDoR on 2001 and it was very emotional for me as I read the name of Ontwon Curtis, I cried while I read her name. She was a stranger to me but we shared a common trait, we were both trans. It never gets easy reading the names.

This year's list is from Remembering Our Dead

Today is…

 [Editorial]

...The Transgender Day of Remembrance

(I will be publishing the list of names, in another post today.)

TDoR Hartford with a march to the Capitol and the reading of the names.

I remember when it was the trans community that held vigils around the country, we kept the names, we held the vigils, and it was the trans community that came out.

Now we find the list of names on the HRC and GLAAD websites… the trans community is playing second fiddle to the GAY Inc. organizations.

It is a lot of work compiling the list and it is also very emotional for one or two people to do it know. But what about NCTE? What about other national trans organizations? Why have they turned the organizing over to the grass top Gay organizations?

I remember the first TDoR here in Connecticut it was organized by the CT TransAdvocacy Coalition and it was at the MCC church in the Hartford LGBTQ+ center. (The first one that I wrote about on this blog is here.) in 2002 and I wrote on my old blog,

The “Day of Remembrance” I just got back from the vigil that was held in Hartford. I read the name of Ontwon Curtis, On September 13th of this year she was murdered.
She was shot several times in the chest at her home in Newport News, Virginia. Andrew Coleman has been arrested for her murder.
I had a very difficult time reading that statement out loud. It brings home the point that people will kill one another just because they are different, that they are just trying to be whom they are inside, to be themselves.

It is nice that they are being held all over the nation by churches, and Pride centers but I see it as the trans community has sadly been pushed aside by the GAY Inc.

[/Editorial]

uniTy's TDoR

I was invited to talk at the uniTy TDOR tonight, here is my speech.

As we read off the list of names tonight I am reminded of the opening of the Tale of Two Cities.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" 

This year has been a year of amazing leaps in our right and at the same time more anti-trans bills have been passed then ever before!

In Connecticut they passed a bill last year that sneaked us in with its broad language to prevent our medical records being used against us in other states and this year a number of anti-trans bill were blocked. Also in Connecticut they passed a bill creating a special state police unit on bias crimes, mandatory training on investigating bias crimes and a uniform procedure for reporting bias crimes

In Illinois they passed a law banning the banning of books, in Colorado they are trying to pass a bill known as “Protections For Accessing Reproductive Health Care” and in Oregon they passed a bill also protecting our healthcare.

The first trans-candidate is running for Congress in Delaware state Sen. Sarah McBride has announced she is run for U.S. House seats and she is leading in the polls. Danica Roem won her election to Virginia's Senate.

There have been victory in the courts, many but not all anti-trans bills have been blocked by the courts. In Idaho a judge blocked the law that denied us healthcare, in Kentucky another judge blocked a ban on healthcare. In the White House the president has signed a number of Executive Orders protecting us and has defended us in court. In Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed an executive order protecting the rights of LGBTQ people from Minnesota.

But in the red states we have not been lucky… I don’t think I need to go into detail we all know what has been happening in the Republican states.

We have seen the anger that the politicians have been stirring up.

The Advocate reported that the shooter in Lewiston had retweeted far-right figures and their transphobic views.

The rhetoric coming out of some politicians are stirring up the hate and violence against us, the anti-trans legislation mill has been cranking out bill that want to force us back in the closet. The FBI’s latest crime report puts devastating figures to those feelings, revealing a nearly 33% increase in crimes perpetrated against trans and gender-nonconforming people.

At the same time many states stopped reporting bias crimes to the FBI under the impression that … no news is good news.

What can we do? I always liked what Robin McHaelen says, “If you hear mean, intervene.” we have to take an active part we can no longer sit on our duffs. We cannot let anti-trans Letters-to-the-Editor go unchallenged, we need to let our legislators know we do not approve of anti-LGBTQ legislation. In Connecticut there is a movement to pass a law they make it illegal to ban a book based on protected classes. Those of you in here in Massachusetts and other states have you talked to your legislators about strengthening our laws?

The way to stop the killings starts with changing people views of us. Don’t bother with the MAGA Republicans, go for the undecided voter to convince them to support the trans and the greater LGBTQ community. And don’t forget to thank our supporters.

Transgender Day of Remembrance

Every November 20th is the Transgender Day of Remembrance is when we remember the trans-people who were murdered in the last 12 months. They 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 list is from Remembering Our Dead

So You Think Connecticut Is The Promise Land For Us?

Well think again, our senator Chris Murphy wrote on Facebook,

Too many transgender Americans still have to live in fear of violence. On Transgender Day of Remembrance, let's recommit to stamping out discrimination and violence.

I commented…

Sadly a record has been set for the number of transgender people that were murdered this year. Hate crimes have been increasing not only for the transgender community but also all other minorities.

The replies…

• that's because the left brings out the division in us, sadly.
• the only hate I see is from the left

Other replies to the senator’s post…

• How many people live in fear in Democrat run cities of being shot or stabbed?Robbed or beaten?Regardless of orientation?
• Maybe if they dresses normally instead of making fools of themselves no one would notice them, let alone aggress them

There are some defenders…

• That is because the right wing cult of hate, despise anyone who is different 😕 Hate crimes rose sharply under 45
• Hmmm....odd. It always seems to be those of us on the left, trying to protect the rights of ALL citizens. Instead of making fun of people and being paranoid of them.

In all there were 258 comments to his post.

There is still a lot of hate in Connecticut.

It is not just in Charlotte GA where drivers drive through protesters, in Manchester a man drives through crowd of BLM protesters in Manchester.

Transgender Day of Remembrance

Every November 20th is the Transgender Day of Remembrance is when we remember the trans-people who were murdered in the last 12 months. They 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 we set a record… The most killed ever.

This year’s TDoRs will be held virtually. I am still debating whether or not I want to attend the virtual services. It is one thing to be around other through the emotional service, but to be alone in your house, the stress and emotions might be over bearing and I’m thinking it might be too emotionally to watch by myself. (If I do attend it will be the MCC Hartford church's TDoR.)

When I went to my first TDoR on 2001 and it was very emotional for me as I read the name of Ontwon Curtis, I cried while I read her name. She was a stranger to me but we shared a common trait, we were both trans. It never gets easy reading the names.

• Tyianna Alexander, who was also known as Davarea Alexander, was a 28-year-old Black trans woman. Tyianna was shot to death in Chicago on January 6. On social media, friends of Tyianna posted that she had “good energy” and had “a beautiful light,” with one friend saying “I loved everything about her.” Said another friend, “this lady was nothing but life, encouragement, motivation and fun.”
• Samuel Edmund Damián Valentín, a transgender man, was killed on January 9 in Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico. Samuel was looking forward to starting a new year. On January 1, he posted on his Facebook, “a new year to come, grateful for all the experiences who [taught] me how strong we really are, to life, to good and bad, and for all justice that is forth to come.” He also spoke out against violence in Puerto Rico, expressing his hope for a Puerto Rico without killings.
• Bianca “Muffin” Bankz, a Black transgender woman, was shot to death in Atlanta, Ga. on January 17. On Friday, January 29, Bianca’s friends and the Trans Housing Coalition (THC) held a vigil outside of her apartment to remember her. Said THC’s Founder and Co-Director Jesse Pratt López, “Muffin was just blossoming into herself.”

This year's list is from the HRC

Transgender Day of Remembrance

Every November 20th is the Transgender Day of Remembrance is when we remember the trans-people who were murdered in the last 12 months. They 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 TDoRs are going to be unlike any in the past and memorial services will be held virtually. I am still debating whether or not I want to attend the virtual services. When I went to my first TDoR on 2001 and it was very emotional for me as I read the name of Ontwon Curtis, I cried while I read her name. She was a stranger to me but we shared a common trait, we were both trans. It never gets easy reading the names. I’m thinking it might be too emotionally to watch by myself.

Transgender Day of Remembrance

Every November 20^th 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.

On a personal level I went to my first TDoR on 2001 and it was very emotional for me as I read the name of Ontwon Curtis, I cried while I read her name. She was a stranger to me but we shared a common trait, we were both trans. It never gets easy reading the names.

The vigil is held all around the U.S. and the world and you can find a place for where you can attend a TDOR here.

A list of the names of the people who were murdered this year can be found below along with a list the TDOR locations in Connecticut. I will be attending the Hartford services.
