"If the trans community, allies and LGBTQ organizations reserve one day a year to light candles for the dead, it's vital to spend the other days fighting for the living. Otherwise, Transgender Day of Remembrance functions not as a true memorial for the fallen, but merely a way to comfort those who want to end transgender violence but are not inclined to take the difficult steps to eradicate it." -- Meredith Talusan, "On Trans Day of Remembrance, we must do much more than remember", 2015-11-19

[Transgender Day of Remembrance is this coming Tuesday.]

[Huge thanks to all my friends -- and everyone else -- in MA who pushed hard on Question 3 to keep the state's protections for rights of trans people in effect! And to everyone who stands up and raises their voice to counter poisonous anti-trans speech when they hear it, and to every cis person willing to accompany a trans person to a public restroom to help keep them safe!]
