I think others (non-transgendered people) might also be interested in knowing about this.  When I looked at the list of trans people who have been murdered since 1970, I have to say I was shocked--it is a very long list.  

I know it's a subject that evokes all kinds of feelings and reactions, but it can be a way to talk about basic human rights and the prevalence of violence.   Teachers will know when or whether it makes sense to talk about in the classroom--it helps just to know that this web site exists.  

I did not know about this day of remembrance before, so thanks, Daphne.

For those of us who have trans learners in our classes, they may be interested in knowing (if they don't know already) that Tuesday, 11/20/07, is the Trans Day of Remembrance. For more information go to:
