Thank you to the trans women of color

This day, observed annually on November 20th, Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR), is a day to mourn, honor and commemorate the lives of the magical and beloved transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people lost to violence and suicide in the past year. The date marks the birthday of Rita Hester, a Black transgender woman who was murdered in 1998. Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a transgender advocate, started TDOR in honor of her friend.
