While #Transgender Day of Remembrance is officially about those we've lost through direct violence, I choose to expand it.
We lose many more Trans people (and other groups) to indirect violence - suicide. Those who choose this option aren't doing so because the world is all sunshine and flowers. Their world and hope has been whittled away until they see no other option but to sleep forever.
Forced micro-dosing of hate & violence can kill you as easily as an asshole with a gun.
#Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR)
350 trans and gender diverse people were reported murdered between 1 October 2023 and 30 September 2024
94% of the reported murders were femicides, i.e the victims were trans women or transfeminine people.
93% of the reported murders were of Black or Brown trans people, a 14% increase from last year
Cases in the United States increased (2024: 41; 2023: 31).

@Kaysymmetry People fear what they don't understand. Add to that the people saying that the only thing you need to know is to be afraid... it's a wacky time. If they understood more, they'd fear less.
Edumacation.
Riggs appears to win #NC Supreme Court race, but Griffin calls for a recount
North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs, the Democratic incumbent, led Republican Jefferson Griffin by 625 votes out of 5.5 million once all votes were finished being counted late Monday. Griffin's team appears to be preparing to call for a recount.
For those who followed my waiting room posts from yesterday;
When I was called back to recovery, I had to go past the rude staring people. As I passed I looked right at them and did a little finger wiggle type of wave. I hope they caught the #Transgender cooties!
@MarvelousMadi13 Willful ignorance is often the key to the demonization of minority groups. It leads to the acceptance of half-truths, let alone outright lies.
@stueytheround Agreed!
@MarvelousMadi13 It was a well crafted phrase to push multiple buttons. It worked extremely well.
