Transgender Rememberance Day 0
The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to remember and give respect to those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice.
Violence towards ANYONE is reprehensible.
55% of transgender youth report being physically attacked. 74% of transgender youth reported being sexually harassed at school, and 90% of transgender youth reported feeling unsafe at school because of their gender expression. 33.2% of transgender youth have attempted suicide. (source)
The statistics are startling.
