The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event is held in November to honor Rita Hester, whose murder on November 28th, 1998 kicked off the “Remembering Our Dead” web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Rita Hester’s murder — like most anti-transgender murder cases — has yet to be solved.

Although not every person represented during the Day of Remembrance self-identified as transgender — that is, as a transsexual, crossdresser, or otherwise gender-variant — each was a victim of violence based on bias against transgender people.

~~Slipping in~~ Good after noon everyone. So glad to be able to make here... as long as all the blocks stay off the site I will continue to show up for roll call. If any blocks happen I will only say I am greatfull for every moment I have to spend with all you.

I am looking forward to a Holiday gathering in a form of a pot luck somewhere... along with Card exchange and maybe even a Secret Santa gift exchange...

If that sounds nice or if there's one happening sometime in the next couple weeks let me know.

Hope eveyone got past this stupid flu season that hit my home hard this year.

Hope everyone is going great.

Love ya'll!!!!
