As it approaches the end of October, some very important national and
international dates are coming up quickly; some will be recognizable,
and others less known but still significant.
The first of these is November 20 for Transgender Day of Remembrance;
this date may not be widely known because the topic of transgendered
individuals still seems to be taboo in some circles. The purpose of
Transgender Day of Remembrance is to recognize men and women who have
been killed due to ignorance and hatred, targeted specifically because
they were transgendered.
