Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It is a moment to quietly reflect and honour the transgender and gender-diverse people who have lost their lives. We take this time to show care, offer support, and recognise the importance of creating safer, more welcoming communities for everyone. We remember with respect. We stand with compassion. 🕯️
