Tragically, people who desire to live their authentic selves die because of transphobia. Today we remember those who have died because of transphobia. Violence against transgender people is wrong, full stop. I have transgender friends, and I worry about them these days. I pray for their safety, offer my friendship, and may God be with them.
Transgender people are beautiful human beings. They are living their truth on their terms. I remember those lost to the violence of ignorance and fear. To the trans community be safe and keep your guard up.
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of those whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.
No one should lose their lives just for living their truth. These people are human beings who make great contributions to our society. God loves them too. Grace and peace my Trans friends and others in the LGBTQ community.
