Transgender Day of Remembrance

Here, at Questioning Transphobia, Lisa has an excellent collection of links for the Day of Remembrance.

Every year, I just feel so much anger and sadness..and so helpless. I would just hope that everyone goes through, reads all the links, and realizes just how real transphobia is - and how it alone KILLS, and how many more it KILLS when it intersects with misogyny, racism, and classism. And I don't want anyone who claims to not be transphobic, but who does not respect the identities of trans* people to the same extent they respect the identities of cis* people, to pretend this has nothing to do with them. Every time you say that you have nothing against trans women, you just don't want them in women's space, you do have something against trans women, and are participating in the dehumanizing of trans* people that enables and encourages the murder of so many. The blood is on your hands, too.
