Title: Trans day of Remembrance coming up
Post by: HappyMoni on November 14, 2018, 03:41:51 PM
   Hi all,
   November 20th is Trans Day of Remembrance. Last year I had surgery on that day. I am hoping to participate this year. We all observe this kind of thing in our own way. I hope to be with people on that day, thinking of those who have  so sadly lost their lives.

While I'm at it, I'll make another contribution to this site to do something concrete as well as remembering and grieving.

Yes it is, and it is my first one knowing who I am.

My plan to honor this day is get a manicure and paint the nails on my left hand the colors of the trans flag. Even though
I am not out at work yet, I can explain why this day exists to everyone who asks me about why I am wearing nail polish.

Keep them guessing!

<hugs everyone>

Thanks Ricki,

   I made another contribution to Susan's today. I am going to check with the local UU church. I know they did a remembrance event last year. The person who always comes to my mind is Leelah Alcorn and her plea to society to fix this for others. I wish she was still here.
