/1 Comment (8:30 am PST/11:30 EST)
I subscribe (RSS) to 100s of news feeds: sci-tech, politics, economics ...
I carefully choose/vet those sources & posts.
This morning - Nov 20: Transgender Day of Remembrance - I completed my 1st pass through those feeds.
Among 100s of article titles reviewed, one (Assoc Press) mention of TDoR /anti-trans news.
Just the usual media rhetoric, regurgitated content.
Against the waves of anti-trans hatred afflicting Canada, USA ... this is disappointing.

Vigils and other events are being held to draw attention to transgender people who have lost their lives due to violence in the past year. Wednesday marked Transgender Day of Remembrance, which is held every Nov. 20. The Human Rights Campaign says at least 36 transgender people have been killed by violence over the past 12 months. That number is likely higher because of deaths not being reported, misreported or because the victims are misgendered. This year's events follow an election where transgender people were the focus of a costly barrage of attack ads by Republicans.
