📚 Understanding the Significance of Transgender Day of Remembrance
Transgender Day of Remembrance was initiated in 1999 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a tribute to Rita Hester, whose life was taken due to transphobic violence. This observance has grown to honor all transgender lives lost to such violence, emphasizing the systemic challenges and injustices the transgender community faces. TDOR serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for transgender rights and the critical need for societal change, embodying the core principles of inclusive engagement.
