A cisgender friend of mine posted this quote on her facebook page about TDOR:

QuoteWhat makes today a complicated day is that while we have set aside a day for memorializing our dead we've not yet set aside a day for celebrating the living. The unintended message we are giving, particularly to our newest members of the community, is that your death, and more particularly your murder, has more meaning to our community than your life.

What do we think of this?

Isn't that what our day of visibility is for?

Er?

BIRTHdays?

I wonder if she would post the same thing about other days of remembrance that people observe like Memorial Day, Pearl Harbor Day or 9/11.
