boston transgender day of remembrance.

[subjective]

the national transgender day of remembrance is wednesday, 20 november. if you're in boston, we will be gathering at st. john the evangelist church at 35 bowdoin street, at 7pm. there will be an optional candlelight vigil to government center, so please dress warmly. the event is non-denominational & all are welcome.

i have to say that i struggle with the concept of vigils, particularly for transpeople, who generally seem to be recognized only when dead. where does the mere existence of transpeople even get acknowledged outside of sensationalized murder stories & jerry springer episodes? but it's been a long year, & in the past i have found it helpful & comforting to mourn collectively at this event.

send me an email if you need more information or want a copy of the informational flyer to circulate.
