Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) is observed annually on November 20th as a way to remember and honor the lives of people who were killed or chose to end their own lives due to ongoing transphobia. 2021 was the deadliest year on record for transgender and non-binary folks, and this year is not far behind.
