‘She just wanted to live how she wanted to’: couple mourn their trans daughter
Alice Litman, 20, was facing a five-year wait for a gender identity assessment when she died. Her parents say a complete overhaul of trans care is needed
Oh, my heart. 💙 So many people would still be with us, if only we'd remembered to build a kinder world along the way.
@MLClark @Graci November 20th is the Transgender Day of Remembrance.
It's the day when we remember our lost brothers and sisters.
Every loss is preventable. All of the suffering, pain and ugliness is fundamentally unnecessary.
It is good to remember the dead, to honor their sacrifice and to know the loss. When we lose their light, we are all affected.
Honor the dead. Fight like hell for the living!
It is no crime, it is no sin to only want to be yourself. To deny that, is an atrocity.
@NiveusLepus @MLClark I cry every year.
@NiveusLepus @MLClark I remember when Gwen started TDOR. (We were part of the same group on AOL). Never thought it would continue this long. Never though it would have to.
@Graci @MLClark In these times it feels like the progress is being pushed back but that's all the more reason to keep fighting, keep reaching out to our allies...
