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.

In a darkened room inside Pride Center people gathered to remember, mourn and honor the victims of transgender violence.

Compass will observe this year's annual Transgender Day of Remembrance with an open mic event--to be hosted by Sabrine Pearson and Velvet Lenore, on November 20, at 6 p.m.

(EDGE) GMHC launched a preferred gender pronoun social media campaign during National Transgender Week of Remembrance and Resilience (TWOR), which is November 14 to November 20. The campaign consists of graphics created by and featuring GMHC staff members explaining why being cognizant of an individual's preferred gender pronouns is important to them and how it helps to make GMHC a safe space.

(EDGE) Monday, the 20th of November, marks Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), an annual observance that honors the memory of those whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. This is an important year to acknowledge and participate in TDOR, in light of the record number of transgender people killed in the United States this year alone.

In a statement Monday on Transgender Day of Remembrance, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson spoke out against violence against transgender people.

They marched. They shouted. They cried. They remembered.

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.
