Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) was started

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) was started in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998. The vigil commemorated all the transgender people lost to violence since Rita Hester’s death and began an important tradition that has become the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance.

The LGBT Center of Ralegh is hosting a Vigil on November 20th from 6 pm to 9 pm, more details on their site.

Each year from November 13-19, people and organiza

Each year from November 13-19, people and organizations around the country participate in Trans Awareness week to increase understanding about transgender people and the issues they face. Around 1.6% of people in the United States identify as transgender.

What challenges do trans people face?
Lack of legal protections
Stigma, harassment, and discrimination
Violence
Poverty and lack of healthcare

What can I do to become a better ally?
Educate yourself. Do not expect trans people to do the emotional labor of educating you about trans people.
Do not make assumptions about anyone's gender or sexual identity.
Normalize introducing yourself with your pronouns.
Do not ask a trans person questions about their given name, surgical history/plans, or their sex lives.
Challenge transphobic remarks or jokes.
