Trans Day of Remembrance

I need not tell you how to mourn. You can find lists of those killed by transphobic hate, and know that all of them are far from complete. If you want, I can help you find resources and lists.

Those things are important to an extent I could not overemphasise.

But I want to offer comfort. I wish you all the love you deserve, wish you every happiness, and though it is perhaps impossible to receive such a thing, I shall continue wishing it upon you. You are worth everything. And you are not alone in this.

I love you, and you can always message me with whatever you’re feeling. You are surrounded by a community which may be imperfect but you can find your own perfection in – people who will love and care and support you. You contain so many multitudes of love and beauty and joy, and you have so many marvels in your soul.

Remember our past. Protect yourself, you splendid person. What we are is a sublime thing.

You are loved, even when you are full of despair or rage. You are powerful even when you feel hopeless. And we will make things better.
