Transgender Day of Remembrance

 

As we approach the Transgender Day of Remembrance, I wanted to put up the Transgender Pride Flag to be in solidarity to our brothers and sisters in the Trans Community. While I’m glad people remember and memorialize those who have been killed due to transphobia, I am appalled by those who perpetrate such heinous acts against the transgendered. As I’ve said before, I have no desire to transition, but I’m a strong supporter for those who do.

I’ll talk more about Transgender Day of  Remembrance  later this week, and I will remember Rita as later in the month.
