19.01.2022 Albertalli writes, I’ve never kissed a girl. I never even realised I wanted to. That’s how I felt when I came out like people would question the validity of my queerness because I didn’t have the stamps on my passport to prove it.

09.01.2022 Today, November 20, is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It is a solemn day for the trans, gender diverse and non-binary community and allies to remember and mour...n all trans people who have been murdered because of hatred and violence against them around the world and a day to recommit ourselves to removing all obstacles to justice; the violence, discrimination, stigma, marginalisation and the hatred which fuels these crimes. Trans women and trans femme people of colour are shown to be at greater risk of trans violence and we must address the racial inequity that makes this a reality for our fellow human beings. The TMM Project has released data from around the globe for this year and it is devastating. We quote from them directly below: This is difficult reading so please look after yourself. If you need support we have provided numbers and contacts at the bottom of this post. "TDoR 2020 data shows that: 350 trans and gender-diverse people were murdered, 6% more than in the TMM update 2019; 98% of those murdered globally were trans women or trans feminine people; 62% of murdered trans people whose occupation is known were sex workers; People of colour make up 79% of the 28 trans people murdered in the USA; 11 trans people murdered in Europe; 50% were migrants; 82% of all the murders registered happened in Central and South America; 43% in Brazil; 38% of the murders took place on the street and 22% in their own residence; The average age of those murdered is 31 years old; the youngest being 15 years old. Gathered data shows an alarming trend of a gradual increase in murders of trans and gender-diverse people per year between 2008 and 2020. However, these figures are not complete. Due to data not being systematically collected in most countries, added to the constant misgendering by families, authorities, and media, it is not possible to estimate the number of unreported cases. As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as growing racism and police brutality, the lives of trans and gender-diverse people are at even greater risk. Data is a testimony of how COVID-19 is disproportionately impacting trans people worldwide, especially those most marginalised, such as Black and women of colour, sex workers, migrants, youth, and poor. Behind the statistical representation of numbers and percentages, there are people whose lives we value and who we, as societies, failed to protect. Aggregated data indicates that Black and migrant trans women of colour are more vulnerable and frequently targeted. Social stigma and criminalisation of sex work expose trans sex workers to abuse, exploitation, and violence. At the same time, those groups are repeatedly silenced and underrepresented within our communities and societies. Although COVID-19 affects us all, social differences and inequalities are deepened by the pandemic, emphasising gaps in lack of legislation and systemic protection of trans and gender-diverse people." You can read more about the TMM Project here https://transrespect.org//up/2016/11/TvT-PS-Vol14-2016.pdf With great respect we remember all those beautiful souls who have been murdered because they are trans. They were human beings, with families, friends, communities, children. They had important dreams and hopes for themselves. They had sorrows and triumphs. They loved and were/are worthy of dignity, respect, love, kindness, warmth, generosity, belonging. Stop Killing Trans People Trans People Are People.
