typewriterprose: loveincolororg: 20th of November is International Transgender Day of Remembrance. International Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day to remember those who have lost their lives through transphobia. In the first nine months of 2011 there were 116 reported killings of trans people around the world. In Scotland, research shows that 62 percent of transgender people have faced transphobic harassment from strangers and that trans people are 7.7 times more likely to commit suicide than the rest of the population due to the prejudice they experience.  I missed the date, but this issue deserves much more notice than it gets.
