🌹 Today 11/20, the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the memory of lives lost in acts of anti-trans violence. At least 22 (in the US) & 311 (around the world) of our transgender and non-binary siblings have been reported killed in this year alone. 🌹
This number does not include those we’ve lost by suicide and in prisons and detention. Those misgendered in death.
Those we will never know.
This is an epidemic, in fact a pandemic, and it's up to each of us to address gender-based violence so that all trans people can live phenomenally and free. We must give roses to our trans and non-binary siblings, particularly Black trans women, while they are ALIVE and with us and not only after they are gone. // Today I’m proud to wear my @phenomenal tee which benefits @tgijustice, which works inside and outside of prisons to create a united family in the struggle for survival and freedom. // To my trans and non-binary siblings today: I see you and I am with you. xx AC // #TDOR #transdayofremembrance
