November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance. As said by founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith: "Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people -- sometimes in the most brutal ways possible -- it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice." #transawarenessweek2020 #TransDayofRemembrance
