Once again we are reminded of the sad fact that many more of us have lost our lives this year, often through brutal and vicious assaults.

To date the latest figures from the Transrespect web site show that 265 murders of transgender people (almost 100% transwomen) have taken place since the last TDoR, the vast majority in the central American belt and in South America - although 15 of them (6%) have taken place in the country that proclaims itself as being the home of democracy and freedom - the USA (see here for the list of names and full details of their murders).

Hi Carol,

I'm so pleased that my County Council employers are marking TDoR by putting it on our Equalities web page: http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/council/equalities/gender_equality/default.asp There is an event in Sheffield for anyone who comes from that area - details at the above link. Thanks also for the list of those we have lost although it does make grim and sobering reading.
