Lest we forget.
Nov. 20th, 2008 10:47 pmToday was the ninth annual Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Little Sister and I went to a TGDR gathering downtown. It was only a few people, but there was a very solemn viewing of Ma Vie En Rose and coffee and a very interesting discussion about transphobia and gender identity. Mostly it was nice to just be there with other like-minded people, because I've never really gotten the opportunity to observe the day in any significant way and I think it's important. I'm really, really glad that Little Sister was there because I didn't want to be alone tonight, and I'm so fucking impressed that she was so open-minded and mature about the people there and the subjects we discussed. She's a good little sister. :)
I'm going to light a candle before I go to bed.
Remember the dead.
