It’s Transgender Day of Remembrance. So remember:
- We have always existed.
- We don’t owe you our stories.
- The value of our lives is not determined by how well we align with “cis” norms.
- We demand bodily autonomy and the right to gender self-determination.
- We deserve equal access to healthcare.
- We are not a wedge issue.
If non-trans people remembered these things then perhaps we would have fewer trans people to remember and more to remember with.
