Transgender Day of Remembrance 2009

101 transgender people have been murdered in 2009, over double the reported number of murders from 2008.

Each year on November 20th, Transsexuals everywhere gather to remember their sisters and brothers who have been killed for the simple act of being themselves.

Its also important we remember that people like that person are people purely messed up in the head and defy the concept of natural law. God made them a male, they have no right to try to alter that determination. They are beyond the case of help

@MrEnlighteneddespot For someone with enlightened in their name you sure are misinformed. You say god doesn't make mistakes, then please explain to me the incredible variety of chromosomal and biological disorders that exist in this world. I have a good friend who is XXY and another who was born with both a penis and ovaries. The fact of the matter is that biology and genetics are more complicated than your simple black and white explanation of only male and female.

Thank you for posting this. This moved me to tears.You are truly a beautiful and insightful person, inside and out.

I know TGs sometimes--justifiably--get angry with the gay community for leaving them behind in order to secure more rights for themselves, but this is one gay man who thinks that TGs are some of the most amazing people on earth and we're blessed to have them here among us! I'm in awe of your courage and honesty!! Thank you for speaking up!!!

its a big world... 101 is not that huge of a number... how many plain gays were killed couple thousand i imagine...

[grishno]

I'm not entirely sure what the point of your comment is besides to try and devalue these deaths.

The fact is that 1 murder for this reason is too many. Sure, there are a lot of other things that are bad out there, but this was our day to remember OUR dead.

@matoxewu That's such an unfair statement, not to mention silly. "101 is not that huge..." how short-sighted and insensitive. ONE is a huge number if it's you that's been murdered. Or your Mom.

@matoxewu That's such an unfair statement.

all the unknown people... and people who were known.... the fact that they were killed for such a trivial reason as the fact that they were transgender.... these people had family... this makes me sad. People need to be more accepting of others.

Thank you so much for sharing this with the world. You're absolutely amazing and courageous!

Maybe they shouldn't have been killed.. locked the fuck up in a mental ward, but not killed.
