International Transgender Remembrance Day 2009

in UNITED KINGDOM, 20/11/2009

The Transgender Day of Remembrance is set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The remembrance day is held in November in honor of Rita Hester, whose murder on November 28th, 1998 in Boston Massachusetts. Rita Hester’s murder, like most anti-transgender murder cases, has yet to be solved.

Not all persons represented during the Day of Remembrance self-identify as transgender, but also transsexual, crossdresser, or otherwise gender-variant —but equally, are victims of violence against transgender people.
