Transgender Day of Remembrance helps acceptance, understanding

Burning candles dripped wax onto the grass as 12 people stood in a circle reading the names of transgender individuals who had been murdered.

The 10th annual Transgender Day of Remembrance on Nov. 20 was about more than the movement, senior Aydin Kennedy said.

"It's about memorializing those that were trying to find that corner of truth in their life," he said.

They also make transgender people visible, Kennedy said. Events such as the Day of Remembrance, as well as the Conversation on Diversity on Nov. 19, lend a voice to a group of people who often don't have a voice.
