BATHROOM GENDER LAWS

The geniuses who are coming up with these discriminatory laws based on their right to religious freedom, among other things, have nothing but mush in their brains. They also have to much time in their hands.

One tweet that shows a huge problem with North Carolina’s anti-transgender bathroom law
Updated by German Lopez

“Even if trans people go through all sorts of gender-affirming treatments short of genital construction (like hormone therapy), the North Carolina law, and all others that seem to be popping up like wild flowers, will force them to use the wrong bathroom in schools and government buildings. That could place many people, even non-transgender ones, in some very uncomfortable situations.”

DAY OF REMEMBRANCE

Transgender Day of Remembrance 2015

Those We’ve Lost

At least 81 transgender people were murdered worldwide this year — and those are just the victims whose deaths were reported.

Today marks the 16th annual Transgender Day of Rememberance, after the first event was organized by Gwendolyn Ann Smith in Allston, Mass., to memorialize Rita Hester — a trans woman of color killed in 1998.

Every year since, growing numbers of trans people and advocates worldwide take a moment to pause and remember the countless lives lost around the globe to transphobic violence.

The somber occasion serves as a memorial event in which trans people and allies can mourn their dead, celebrate the lives they lived and as a popular hashtag in the wake of unabated anti-trans violence proclaims, #SayHerName.

As the names listed in the graphics demonstrate, certain nations — the United States and Brazil — have particularly acute problems with fatal transphobic violence. The number of trans women killed this year in the U.S., for instance, is nearly double that of the total killed last year.

But it’s also worth noting that in many countries around the world, no formal system exists to report the deaths of trans people, and repressive societies combined with oppressive policing worldwide often give trans people good cause to be wary of law-enforcement officials. 

So while we mourn those whose names are listed below, take a moment to memorialize those whose names we will never know — because they, too, had lives, and loves, and passions that were extinguished because of hate.

Very valuable information.
