TDoR 2012

         -by Gilligan

         For centuries, gender non-conforming individuals have been the target of prejudice, exclusion, and violence.  Some have had a supporter or a few, but many have passed on outcasted, abandoned, and alone. In the last few decades, the LGBTQ, etc. community has started to mark these tragedies in our own way.  And over the last 15 years, the Transgender Day of Remembrance has been established to unify our community, and beyond, to honor the memories and brave lives of all of those who have been murdered for their gender and their strength.

       Gendercast would like to recognize this year’s Day of Remembrance by sending our thoughts to anyone affected by these terrible crimes, honoring those trans*folk who have been killed, and continuing to work to raise comprehensive awareness and compassion for the distance between many trans*people and life in a stable, safe environment. Here, we’ve provided a list of locations, times, and descriptions for anyone who would like to participate in the day’s events.
