?? This Trans Day of Remembrance, we honor the lives of trans individuals lost to violence and systemic oppression while amplifying the call for self-determined legal gender recognition. For many trans people, mismatched IDs deny them access to basic services and expose them to daily discrimination and even life-threatening violence. ????? “It is during this time, Trans Awareness Month, marked by Trans Day of Remembrance on November 20, that we bring some dignity and honor to the names of our fallen siblings. The stigma, systemic violence, and lack of respect for autonomy that trans people face globally is heartbreaking. We need governments to recognize our identities without barriers,” shares Outright’s Senior Advisor of the Global Trans Program, Rikki Nathanson. ?? This #TDOR, join us in supporting justice, dignity, and the right to live authentically. #TransDayOfRemembrance #TransRights #LegalGenderRecognition
