The
Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those who
were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event is
held in November to honor Rita Hester, whose murder on November 28th,
1998 kicked off the “Remembering Our Dead”
web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Rita
Hester’s murder — like most anti-transgender murder cases — has yet to
be solved.
Although not every person represented during the Day of Remembrance
self-identified as transgendered — that is, as a transsexual,
crossdresser, or otherwise gender-variant — each was a victim of
violence based on bias against transgendered people.
We
live in times more sensitive than ever to hatred based violence,
especially since the events of September 11th. Yet even now, the deaths
of those based on anti-transgender hatred or prejudice are largely
ignored. Over the last decade, more than one person per month has died
due to transgender-based hate or prejudice, regardless of any other
factors in their lives. This trend shows no sign of abating.
The Transgender Day of Remembrance serves several purposes. It
raises public awareness of hate crimes against transgendered people, an
action that current media doesn’t perform. Day of Remembrance publicly
mourns and honors the lives of our brothers and sisters who might
otherwise be forgotten. Through the vigil, we express love and respect
for our people in the face of national indifference and hatred. Day of
Remembrance reminds non-transgendered people that we are their sons,
daughters, parents, friends and lovers. Day of Remembrance gives our
allies a chance to step forward with us and stand in vigil,
memorializing those of us who’ve died by anti-transgender violence.
