Today we recognize the countless souls that have been lost due to anti-transgender hate and violence. Please see the quote below:

“Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.”

– Transgender Day of Remembrance founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith (1999)

If you feel so inclined, please feel free to uplift the names of those we have loved and lost in the comments, may they never be forgotten.

And to those who may feel lost, alone, unrecognized, or unwelcome, please know you are always welcome with us and you are vital to our community 🦋🌸
