Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. The day where us trans/queer folks remember our lost siblings. Those that have been taken from us by murder or suicide. We face a much larger percentage for both violent deaths and suicide. Today we reflect on their lives and what their deaths mean. It means we need to press forward. It means we need to push back harder. It means we should not stand for discrimination in every account. It means we should stand up for our oppressed siblings. Do not let their deaths be in vain, take the knowledge of today and put the lesson into practice in your everyday life. Give to your trans/queer friends, correct people when they misgender a trans or queer person, go out of your way to be friendly and nice. These things make a difference, your kindness may inspire the kindness in others. Reach out and start being an ally in every way you can!
Also, people that are cisgender allies and may have a transgender family member, there is a volunteer opportunity available with the Trans Lifeline for taking calls in the up and coming Trans Family Line, to launch next year! Please go to Translifeline.org and sign up to volunteer if you are over 18 and have a transgender family member and want to help other family members of trans people to find support through the process of coming to understanding and acceptance. We've been working hard on new projects! Katherine of course hard at work with the lifeline, and myself working on Three Two One Trans. This is a project focused on the education and support of Transgender Parents. That is parents that are also transgender. We want to help both adults and children understand that being transgender is a normal part of life for a percentage of people. We also want to focus in on those instances where only another transgender parent can really offer you some guidance. Thanks for reading, watching, subscribing, and sharing! Oh yeah, our new website you can subscribe! Just click the button above ^.

Authors:James and Katherine are a transgender couple raising two kids. They were southerners when coming to understand themselves as trans. Ultimately it lead to a nearly three year road trip to find home. Now they are re-housed and still focused on outreach in the transgender community! Archives
