It's 'Transgender Day of Remembrance' today.
'In the past 12 months, at least 369 trans and gender-diverse people were reported killed globally'.
By commemorating this day it "seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people - sometimes in the most brutal ways possible - it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice."
- Transgender Day of Remembrance founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith
Here at Mind in Mid Herts our doors are open to all, so if you identify as Trans, know that we are here for you, not only when prejudice affects your mental health but also when you're feeling well, you have us on your side 🏳️🌈
