A Call To the 2011 TG Day of Remembrance

My grief lies all within, and these external manners of lament are merely shadow to the unseen grief that swells with silence in the tortured soul. ~ William Shakespeare

I would like to remind ALL readers here of the 2011 Transgender Day of Remembrance, November 20, 2011.

I know it's more than a month away, and I will probably submit this again next month, BUT, if you haven't visited the Day of Remembrance website, http://www.transgenderdor.org, I would encourage you to do so.

Why is this so important? Because trans people are in greater danger of being killed.

It is right that we remember those who are slain, to remember our own mortality, to call for change.

Hugs,

Beth

Those Left Behind Are Also Hurt

Twice I have read a name of transgendered people who were close to me. One was one of my virtual daughters. I was told about her just after I came from a Transgender Day of Remembrance. The other was a roommate of Holly and mine. I found out how she died just before a first day Passover Seder.

If you go to one of these events, please remember that name you will read was a real person. There were relatives and friends who loved them.
