Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. We honor those whose lives were lost to anti-transgender violence this year. 350 people were killed in 2024, up from 321 in 2023. Transgender Day of Remembrance was founded in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith in memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998. “Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.” –Gwendolyn Ann Smith Source: GLAAD.org, TGEU.org
