The Transgender Day of Remembrance, which honors the memory of those murdered because of anti-transgender bias, is recognized annually on November 20. GLAAD encourages journalists and community members to mark the occasion with stories about the pervasive problem of hate crimes against transgender people, as well as the diversity and resilience of the community in the face of harassment and violence.
I will be attending the event at the LGBT community center in New York City.
It's important to attend because I want to let others know that transgender
people are being murdered and dying by their own hand. It's also a time
to encourage others.
