Take a Moment

Remembering, honouring, and mourning friends, family, and lovers as well as trans, transgender, transexual, two-spirit, travesti, genderqueer, gender independent, and gender non-conforming people who have been killed worldwide because of transphobia. Acknowledging all the individuals who have died because of their gender identity or expression, perceived or actual. Whose murders were never reported, cared about, or whose cases were thrown out. Whose files have been misplaced. People whose names, pronouns, and identities were misrepresented in the media. Individuals who committed suicide, or whose deaths were mislabelled as accidents, or are still unsolved. Individuals who died because of neglect by the medical profession. Or as a result of not tending to their health and/or medical needs due to the fear of transphobia. All individuals who were unable to access shelters and froze to death on the street. We honour and remember you.
