Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. If you google the day, you can find lists of hundreds of trans people who lost their lives to violence of either the interpersonal or self-inflicted kind over the past year. We mourn the loss of their light in the world. However, the reality is that these lists are so terribly incomplete. We lose so many trans people who never are able to share their real name or who they are with the world. They are buried in a grave with someone else's name, either because they never came out or the first person they trusted ending up being their killer. Had 14 year old Alyssa known how to disable a gun safety, it would have been my fate as well, so it's personal to me that those people are remembered today as well. May all the transgender people who have lost their lives through violence, the ones we knew and the ones we didn't, find peace in death that society denied them in life.
