TDOR
Austin, Texas Saturday, November 20th 6:30 pm 301 W. 2nd Street Austin 78767 We live in times more sensitive than ever to hatred based violence. Over the last decade, more than one person per month has died due to transgender-based hate or prejudice, regardless of any other factors in their lives. This trend shows no sign of abating. Many of these crimes remain unreported and unsolved. With this in mind we invite you to please stand with us in solidarity Saturday, November 20, 2010 at 6:30 pm on the steps of City Hall. |

Transgender Americans face high suicide risk
New survey paints a portrait of trans people's lives in the U.S. (excerpt) A staggering 41 percent of transgender people in the United States have attempted to commit suicide, according to a new survey. About 19 percent of transgender people report being refused medical care because of their gender-nonconforming status, and a shocking 2 percent have been violently assaulted in a doctor's office. These statistics are just some of the sobering findings from a survey of more than 7,000 transgender people conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, released in October 2010. |

Winnipeg's TDOR event begins at 5pm and goes until 7pm ~ I'll report how things go when I'm back home but I'm very much looking forward to it :)
|
There is nothing going on near me but I will be thinking of all of you and remembering in my way. I had a few whispers about there being some sort of remembrance at the university pride group nearby but they keep things very quiet no location announced. Not a good area for the glb and especially the t's.

I viewed the Documentary 'Two Spirits'. Last night I loved the presentation and the audience participation afterwards.
