Let's come together to honor Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20th. This day was created in 1999 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a transgender activist, to memorialize the countless lives lost due to transphobic violence and discrimination around the world. It is a time for people from all walks of life - regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation - to unite in solidarity with transgender individuals and communities. By celebrating this day we can help support human rights worldwide while honoring those who are no longer here with us today.
