LGBTQ+ Resource Centre, First Year Experience, and The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion will mark Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) on Monday, November 21, and we invite the Humber community (staff, faculty, and students) to join us.
About Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR)
Transgender Day of Remembrance (Sunday, November 20) has been observed around the world since 1999. TDoR was created by trans advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith to honour and memorialize Rita Hester, a Black trans woman who was killed. Since its inception, this day is a vigil to commemorate the trans, Two-Spirit, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people’s lives that were lost in acts of transphobia and anti-trans violence.
On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we come together as a community to raise awareness about transphobia and prejudice resulting in anti-trans hate crimes and multiple lost lives. We also carve out time and space to honour and commemorate the loss of trans lives, particularly those of trans women of colour, that are often dismissed by mainstream media despite many being at the forefront of queer and trans liberation justice movements. Finally, this is a specific day of significance to express our love and care for the victims of transphobic violence and trans antagonism through honouring their lives and personhood as a community.
Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber will be recognizing Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 21 by lowering flags at our campuses to half-staff.
You can join in several events both in-person at the North and Lakeshore campuses and virtually.
