Today, we honor the beautiful people taken too soon by transphobic violence and hate. Transgender and gender-expansive people face disproportionately high systemic and social violence with over 600 anti-trans bills continuing to be introduced across the country this year. Since last November, at least thirty were reported murdered in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

 

They may be no longer physically with us, but they will live on in our hearts forever.
