Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), honouring the memory of the transgender people whose lives have been lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.

“Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.”
– Transgender Day of Remembrance founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith

As a church which strives to be a church for everyone, we wish to honour those lives lost, we pray for an end to anti-transgender discrimination and violence, and we commit to working for safer future for people our transgender siblings, friends and neighbours.
