Today is Trans Day of Remembrance, a day where we, as allies, must stand in solemn solidarity with our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings, mourning the loss of those who came before, their brilliance extinguished by hate.

Hold your loved ones close, support them, defend them. We are blessed by their presence and the world would be a darker place with their loss.

Edited to include #nb siblings. I screwed up and I apologize.

Technically #TransDayOfRemembrance is now over here, so here's the thing you may want to take away from it: trans people are here now. They are your family, your friends, your lovers.

Don't wait until they're dead to remember them on this day every year. We can't do much for the dead, but you can do a lot for the living. Stand for them even when they're not in the room - no, especially then.

And spend time with the living. They're here now. Don't leave them in these times that for some will grow a lot more awful very soon.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance. A new report released yesterday by the Human Rights Campaign says that at least 36 transgender and gender expansive people were killed in the U.S. since Nov. 20 2023. Three-quarters of these were people of color. The report comes out amid an onslaught of anti-trans legislation in the USA — just today, House Speaker Mike Johnson said trans women will not be allowed to use the women's bathroom in the Capitol buildings. @TeenVogue highlights some of the organizations across the country supporting trans people, including Genderbands in Utah, the Iowa Mutual Aid Network, and Gender Justice LA.

Teen Vogue · Trans Day Of Remembrance: Amid An Violence Epidemic Against Trans Americans, These Groups Are Fighting BackBy Angie Jaime

I've been to a demonstration of the Trans Day of Remembrance in Berlin. It was really sad to hear so many names being read out loud.

I couldn't help thinking that next time it could be me or someone I love whose name gets read.

Everyone there was sad. People were hugging and hoping for a better future. At least I could see that I'm not alone. We are a community.
