O Dia Internacional da Memória Trans (Transgender Day of Remembrance, ou TDOR) foi criado para honrar todas as pessoas trans e gender non-conforming que morrem vítimas de violência transfóbica todos os anos. Este dia procura dar visibilidade aos crimes de ódio transfóbicos que os media complacentemente tendem a ignorar, e motivar o luto das mortes e comemoração das vidas de todas as pessoas honradas, que de outra forma cairiam no esquecimento.

Acreditamos que este dia deve servir para nos unir. Para que façamos, juntxs, o luto dxs nossxs mortxs. Para que façamos, juntxs, a luta pelas nossas vidas. Para que não nos esqueçamos da história, e para que façamos uma outra história, aqui e agora, que diga: “Nem mais uma”.

Assim, convidamos-vos a uma noite especial este Dia da Memória Trans, dia 20 de Novembro, no Mob – Espaço Associativo.

Através de uma instalação vídeo e fotogoráfica, o próprio espaço refletirá este luto que fazemos, e esta luta que muitxs fizeram quer por, quer para, viverem. O evento em si consistirá em intervenções, leituras, choros e risos, e por isso convidamos todas as pessoas trans* e gender non-conforming que o desejarem a intervir – seja com um monólogo, com uma leitura, com um apontamento autobiográfico ou político, relembrando umx amigx que partiu, etc.

O Mob abrirá pelas 21:30, e as intervenções terão lugar a partir das 22:30. MOB - Rua dos Anjos 12 F, 1150-037 Lisboa

Além de desarmar o bandido que se passou por um cliente, a garota de programa lutou com ele, bateu, foi ferida e teve a sua foto mais divulgada do que a do bandido, mas não por ter evitado um crime, e sim por ser travesti.

It’s Trans Awareness Week, the week leading up to Trans Day of Remembrance on November 20th. When we say that Autostraddle is website primarily for queer women, we want to be 100% clear that that includes queer trans women and that it’s important to honor trans women year-round, not just in obituaries. So all week long we’re going to be spotlighting articles by and about trans women, with a special focus on trans women of color.

The Truth About Transgender Suicide
For this year's transgender awareness week I wanted to write about something that the transgender community and its allies are often afraid to discuss. Those who want to drive transgender people into the closet, legislate against us, and stigmatize us, talk about all the time in order further marginalize us. It is literally a matter of life and death.
