This is what I could find on S.F. as listed on The Bar Area Reporter;http://www.ebar.com/news/article.php...s&article=4353 :
"In San Francisco, several local organizations are joining together to host a Transgender Day of Remembrance event, also on November 20. It takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Asian and Pacific Islander Wellness Center, 730 Polk Street (at Ellis). Alexandra Byerly from the El/La Transgender Latina HIV Prevention Program will be the keynote speaker."

There will also be one in Oakland that is listed on the site linked in the OP, if that is any help.

Ooops, that was supposed to be The Bay Area Reporter! :seeingstars:

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.

Thanks, I didn't know it was changed. I hope these events all over are well attended.

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.
