What is Transgender Day of Remembrance?
'''Transgender Day of Remembrance''' (TDoR) is an event that happens every year on [[November 20]] around the world. It is about remembering [[transgender]] people who were killed by people who do not like transgender people ([[Transphobia|transphobes]]). It was started in 1998 by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a [[transwoman]]. Smith made the event because a [[Afro-American]] transwoman called [[Rita Hester]] was murdered.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2013/11/20/today-is-transgender-day-of-remembrance-to-remember-all-killed-by-transphobic-violence-tdor/|title=Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance to remember all killed by transphobic violence - PinkNews · PinkNews|website=www.pinknews.co.uk}}</ref> It happens on the last day of [[Transgender Awareness Week]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.glaad.org/transweek|title=Transgender Awareness Week|date=9 November 2012|website=GLAAD}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} ==Other websites== *[http://www.transgenderdor.org/ Official website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110819231329/http://www.transgenderdor.org/ |date=2011-08-19 }} [[Category:1998 establishments]] [[Category:Transgender|Day of Remembrance]] [[Category:November observances]] {{stub}}
