Every year on November 20th, people around the world remember those killed due to hatred and ignorance. In our binary and sometimes tragically hateful world, transgender people are murdered simply for being who they are. Transgender Day of Remembrance is an important time to remember these victims. It's also a time to raise awareness about transgender issues and celebrate peoples' lives.
A recent op-ed in the Weekly Alibi discusses the significance of the Transgender Day of Remembrance and lists events in Albuquerque this week.
If you don't know much about gender identity and transgender peoples' experiences, you have an opportunity to attend an awareness panel Friday, Nov. 19 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Metropolitan Community Church of Albuquerque, 1103 Texas Street NE.
