TDoR 2021: Say their names. Read their stories. Remember them

It has been 20 months since the pandemic started, and unlike this time last year, 2021 has seen the start of some sort of return to “normality” (whatever that means) — at least in privileged parts of the world where the majority of the population has now been vaccinated. But…

TDoR 2020: Say their names. Read their stories. Remember them

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) feels different this year of necessity. After all, how could it not, when a pandemic is ravaging the globe and so many — including all of us here in the UK- will be locked down on 20th November? So this year there are no outdoor…

TDoR 2018: Say their names. Read their stories. Remember them

At the end of October 2017 a group of us started preparing for the Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) 2017 vigil in my home town of Bournemouth, and I volunteered to collate data on those we had lost. Aside from the vigil itself, the end results were two blog posts…
