The mere fact we are in a situation where we feel the need to justify, as transage, transrace, transpecies, transethereal, transbiotic, transvital beings, our support of the Transgender Day of Remembrance is indicative of how much we have been oppressed by those that have taken hold of the only trans identity that has gotten mainstream recognition.

It is thus indicative not of how bad it is to be transgender; only of how bad it is to adapt to the mainstream by dilluting acceptance, by betraying our oppressed brethren.

The Transgender Day of Remembrance shouldn’t be ignored. It should be reclaimed by all, inclusive to the utmost to all those whose identity doesn’t match what has been arbitrarily attributed to them by others.

And while doing so publicly, especially IRL, is largely, at current, dangerous and to some extent near-impossible, we can, and shall, do so on places like here, platforms such as RQD2.

20th November is the TransID Day of Remembrance as far as I’m concerned. Including transgender, but going so much further beyond.

So share stories. Share yourselves. Share the pain, so others can understand it, acknowledge it, live it. So they’ll know what to fight for.

Share also the fiery passion, thirst for betterment, righteous fervour, so you’ll be motivated to do so.

So that one day, we will share the good as well. The hope for increasingly better, and the satisfaction of having seen a situation better than what used to be.

    It’s not just violence against trans people, but other ways they’ve died too. I personally have been a part of many suicide scares as I had lots of my online transid friends try to kill themselves. Lots of rcta people on tiktok have reportedly taken their own lives. Not to mention the many maps who have died who were likely transage.
