TransGriot Note: On November 20 transgender people all over the world remembered the 30 people we lost (and are still losing) due to anti-transgender violence. There were probably far more killed this year that we'll probably never find out their names or the circumstances concerning how they died.

Sokari Ekine and South Africa's Gender DynamiX reminded us that our transgender brothers and sisters on the African continent are still struggling mightily against transphobia.

I was watching a local talkshow a few weeks back featuring some speakers on violence against lesbians and transgendered women in the poorer township areas of South Africa. Really frightening how entrenched bigotry still is in the more traditional communities over here. :(
