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.

I absolutely consider suicide due to lack of acceptance and outright bigotry to be a form of murder.

I agree.
