Transgender Day Of Remembrance – November 20

Leave a comment

Transgender Day of Remembrance, is observed annually from its inception on November 20, 1999, to memorialize those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia.

As a CIS gender white male, I choose to remember the injustice and violence against people who are seeking the universal values of life, liberty and happiness. I have never been the victim of violence of a transgender person. My life has been enriched by knowing transgender people.

They are often scapegoats of problems that they are not the cause of. Too many transgender people have lost their lives. It’s not right, they should be treated like fellow human beings who desire to live authentically in their own bodies free from fear.

Transgender Visibility Day – Celebrating Contributions and Awareness of Discrimination

Leave a comment

Today is Transgender Visibility Day. It’s a day that aims to bring awareness to those in the transgender community who face discrimination and celebrate their contributions to society. Right now, trans people face enormous threats to their very existence. There are laws under consideration that will make their lives harder.

I am a CIS gendered middle-aged male who believes trans people should have the right to exist without fear or prejudice. All transgender persons want to live their lives as their true selves and to make the world a better place. I know transgender people and I think they are awesome. All they want to do is be left alone to live as any other person should.

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.

It is PRIDE month again and it’s time to celebrate those in the LGBTQIA community doing great things to improve our communities. It’s also a time to be mindful of the challenges they face through cruel legislation and hate. Many of my friends are in the community and all they wish to do is live free of fear. I am proud to be an ally and a safe person to confide in. I love you all good people who are showing your colors this month.

Transgender Awareness Week, observed from November 13 to November 19, is a one-week celebration leading up to the Transgender Day of Remembrance, which memorializes victims of transphobic violence. There are two people in my life who are in the process of transitioning. It’s more important for me to be an ally who can support them as they begin to live their authentic self.
