As Transgender Awareness Week comes to a close, the week of celebration, recognition and advocacy ends with Transgender Day of Awareness on Nov. 20.

November is Transgender Awareness Month—a great opportunity to celebrate the transgender community, it is also a time to learn about what it really means to be transgender and live as a gender non-conforming person.

Transgender Awareness Week is a mix of emotions — a celebration of progress, but also a call for change as trans rights are continually trampled.

Politicians have spent the last few years punching down and pummeling the trans community.

Sunday, Nov. 20 2016 marks the 18th annual Transgender Day of Remembrance, a part of transgender awareness week. The day marks a period of reflection on trans lives lost to violence over the past year. The day serves not just for mourning, but to examine the attitudes and policies that most affect and in some cases marginalize trans lives, and the lives of people of color every day.
