Transform: Beyond the Transition
Society & Culture
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) takes place every November 20th. It is the day when the trans community memorializes those we have lost to violence, discrimination, neglect - to all forms of anti-trans violence over the past year. In this episode we explore the history of TDOR, what it has become over the years, and why this day is so important to the Trans, LGBTQ, and other social movements.
For trans folks today can be difficult and emotional. Please remember to reach out if you need support to those you are close to or to the Trans Lifeline.
You can view the 2018 TDOR list of names here:https://tdor.info
The lists from 2007 to 2018 are available on the TDOR website. The original website, the Remembering Our Dead Web Project has been saved here: http://braided-web.net/remember.html
