Title: Where can I get a comprehensive list for Transgender Day of Remembrance?
Post by: suzifrommd on November 03, 2015, 05:19:36 PM
I've volunteered to supply the list of names of transgender murder victims for a local Transgender Day of Remembrance service.

Does anyone know where the best list of names are?

Here's what I've found from a bit of Googling:
* tdor.info has a long list which is primarily American and Brazilian. There are only two victims listed from any other country. It also doesn't seem to be up-to-date. This is the list that seems to be cited by various sites, such as Glaad as the "official" list.
* Wikipedia has an article containing a list. There are only two non-Americans on that list.
* A reporter from Huffington Post also is keeping her own list. Only one of the victims is not American.

Does anyone know of any better lists?

Warning, this site has maps listing the cause of death of each individual killed. Some of the write-ups are a very difficult read.

Hope this helps you, Suzi.

Were you able to get it to give you list of names? I poked around but couldn't find anything like that.

I didn't chase it down. I remember seeing the full list and the maps before, I thought I had rediscovered the same page. I shall continue looking.

The name lists are in the left sidebar, click "TDOR 20xx" for the ones you want. Are you looking for the last twelve months or all of the available data? The recent ones may not be on a list yet.
