TDOR Poem

We've reached another somber TDOR anniversary. It's the 11th annual observance of the day that we memorialize all of our peeps lost to anti-transgender violence. Last year's hit me a little harder than normal because one of the names read was someone I knew.

It's hard to believe that Nikki has been gone a year. She is dearly missed by all of us who knew and loved her.

But unfortunately, there are 117 other transwomen who have been brutally murdered this year, and once again, they are all disproportionately POC.

This YouTube video was actually shot at a previous memorial, but the poem is still apropos.



I have an upcoming trip to speak at a Long Island TDOR event on November 22. I'm looking forward to meeting and getting to see you New York/LI area peeps there.
