5 Ways to Honor Transgender Day of Remembrance
Every year, we use this day to honor all of the trans people who lost their lives to violence.
November 20th marks International Transgender Day of Rememberance (or TDOR, for short), a day when the world honors the lives of trans people who have passed away and celebrates those who have paved the way for those of us still living. For this special day, here are 5 ways to show your love and support.
1. Take part in memorial ceremonies
Devastatingly, 2020 has been a deadly year for trans people, especially trans people of color. TDOR's website allows you to find vigil ceremonies near you were you're able to join others in the name of those who have lost their lives.
2. Spread the word
Search the web for articles like these and share them on social media! Encourage your family and friends to read them and share them as well. So often, trans stories go unheard. A big part of what can make this world safe for trans people is awareness and visibility, and you can help play a role!
3. Support trans media
Talented trans artists, actors, and creatives are out there trying to make their voices heard. Listen to them. Get familiar with nonbinary trans artist poetic duo DarkMatter, watch the Emmy-nominated web series Her Story, follow Laverne Cox's absolutely perfect Instagram account. Search for lesser-known trans artists and share their work. The world needs to know that trans people are here, always have been, and always will be—and supporting media created by trans people is a great way to help make that clear.
4. Donate to the cause
If you're financially able, donate to organizations that fight to uplift trans people and gender equality. You can send donations to more prominent places like the Sylvia Rivera Law Project or you can go to crowdfunding sites like GoFundMe and search for trans individuals who could use your help. Every little bit counts!
5. Speak up and speak out!
One way to honor trans lives is to use your voice. If you're in a not so trans-friendly space as a trans ally, speak to and ask your trans friends about how the space can feel more safe for them. Talk to HR at your job about gender neutral bathrooms. If a bigot thinks it's cute to say something offensive about trans people, be the person that calls them out. And always, always, always use trans people's correct pronouns.
