Every year, I hope it'll be different, and every year, it isn't. This year, it's even worse.
Every year, when the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance rolls around, I pay a visit to the Remembering Our Dead website to look at the names and read the stories of people whose lives were cut tragically short by acts of anti-transgender hate violence.

Every year, when the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance rolls around, I pay a visit to the Remembering Our Dead website to look at the names and the stories of people who's lives were cut tragically short by acts of anti-transgender hate violence.
Every year, the list grows even longer, with this past year showing a marked increase in the number of lives lost to anti-transgender hate violence.
While many may remember the name Brandon Teena from "Boys Don't Cry", the Oscar-winning movie starring Hilary Swank, other names are not so well known. Gwen Araujo, Angie Zapata, Rita Hester, Ukea Davis, Amanda Milan... so many names known only to those who care enough to remember them.
