Read trans voices for the Trans Day of Remembrance

Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is observed annually on November 20 to commemorate trans, Two-Spirit, non-binary, and gender-diverse peoples that have lost their lives to transphobia. In Canada, up to a third of gender-diverse people report facing violence and/or harassment in the past year, with transfeminine and Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) gender-diverse people facing even higher rates of violence and injustice. These recommendations reflect on the violence, harassment, and transphobia faced by gender-diverse people and celebrate their history, resilience, and ingenuity.
