I cannot fathom the depth of depravity that causes one human being to kill another in such a brutal way. Of particular note is a 16 MONTH OLD INFANT!
I am sitting at my keyboard and I have finished crying for now. I will attend the memorial service here in Chicago, and I encourage everyone to participate in remembrance events in your area as well.
I have compiled this list from the Transgender Remembrance website:
http://www.transgenderdor.org/?page_id=4
I have just posted the cause of death and not the names, because in some cases no identification could be made.
And this is not a complete list, of course. In many cases, violent death is not reported as a transgender related death.
Nor does it include the incredibly longer list of those who have been assaulted, but lived.
Nor does it show any female to male assaults and murders, such as being "raped straight".
Nor does it show the casual acceptance of discrimination and hate toward the trans community.
