I keep reading/hearing how the Dems/Left have to come up with better responses and ways to deal with the #Transgender attacks. But (almost) none of them involve actually supporting trans people.

Over 80% of trans workers have experienced discrimination or harassment, report finds
On this #Transgender Day of Remembrance
Stop and think before you make that "tranny" joke. Stop and think before you point and stare. Stop and think before uttering that rude comment to a friend. These are people just trying to fit their square peg in society's round hole. They are human like you and deserve the common courtesy of a kind word or a smile. Their life could have very tough times that can be eased with kindness. And maybe, just maybe, that smile could save a life.

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)
