Transgender Day of Remembrance
Transgender Day of Remembrance is acknowledged each year on November 20th. On this solemn day, we honour lives destroyed by transphobic violence. We reflect on the ongoing struggle for safety, dignity, and inclusion amidst misinformation and active disinformation. Now more than ever, we must support trans, Two-Spirit, and non-binary youth with our love, care, and support. We commit to listen and work to amplify the voices of those who have been marginalized in order to learn what we can do to be better allies.
For local resources and more information, visit Trans qathet, Trans Care BC, We Are Allies, or GLAAD’s Tips for Allies of Transgender People.
You can also start here with the short video clips below from We Are Allies, or with an easy to read document from EGALE Canada that explains common myths and misconceptions about Trans Youth.
