It was founded in 1999 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith to memoralize transgender persons who have been killed as a result of transphobia or who are still suffering from it (violence, bullying, etc.).
I think it's a really important day for both the transgender community as well as the "other part" of society. I, for myself, haven't suffered (until now) from being trans*, but I know some people (some are friends of mine) who have. They get verbally abused by teachers, other students or just random people on the street.
That just not right!
I also read an article about a non-binary transgender person, who wants to be referred to as Profx (for example in letters) instead of the female or male version (
[If there are some interested people that speak German: here's the link!]
I can't understand why it is so unacceptable to be trans*.
Also I read about the occurrences in Italy lately. Some communities accepted same gender marriages (where the persons married in a different country - obviously), but now the government wants prohibit that again.
I was just like WHAT?!
Some people are so dumb. -.-'
