Transgender Day of Remembrance was started in 1999 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a transgender advocate honouring the death of Rita Hester, a trans woman murdered in her apartment. On this day, we remember the lives lost due to anti-trans violence and bigotry towards transgender people. "It is vitally important that those we lose are remembered and that we continue to fight for justice." -Gwendolyn Ann Smith ... #TRANSRIGHTSAREHUMANRIGHTS #TRANSAWARENESSWEEK #transisbeautiful #translivesmatter
