Trans Day of Remembrance: Honoring the Beautiful Trans Lives Stolen
Today, ahead of Transgender Day of Remembrance, the National Center for Transgender Equality has released the 2022 Remembrance Report to honor the lives of 47 trans people whose lives were stolen by violence since November 2021.On Trans Day of Remembrance, we honor those taken from our communities, we celebrate their lives, and we root ourselves in our collective resilience.
Across America, the transgender community is incredibly strong. In the face of systemic violence, trans people continue to survive and thrive.
We support and celebrate each other while working hard to achieve our dreams.Over the past several years, extremist politicians across the country have attempted to weaponize disinformation about trans people.
They misuse and abuse the powers of state governments to persecute us and our families. We live in a political climate that has exploded with anti-trans legislation, policy, and rhetoric.
