Today we pay tribute to American transgender rights and gay liberation activist Sylvia Rivera (1951-2002).

Sylvia was a friend of iconic trans rights pioneer Marsha P. Johnson and co-founder of Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR).

The words above are from a speech Sylvia gave four years after the Stonewall Riots, where she expressed her rage on behalf of those who felt excluded from the gay political movement of the 1970s.

Sylvia Rivera was not afraid to call out the ugly misogyny of voices raised against trans and gender diverse folks, and particularly towards trans women of colour.

She was an outspoken, difficult and magnetic force to be reckoned with.

You can read Sylvia Rivera's full speech in 'Loud & Proud', a book of LGBTQ+ speeches that empower and inspire, curated by Tea Uglow (@teaelleu). Tea is Creative Director for @Google's Creative Lab in Sydney and in 2018 was celebrated as one of Australia's top 50 LGBTQ leaders (#OUT50LGBTQ).

Please remember... if you need help, support is out there. Check out our Support highlight for a list of LGBTQI+ support services around Australia.

Today, November 20, is Transgender Day of Remembra

Today, November 20, is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It is a solemn day for the trans, gender diverse and non-binary community and allies to remember and mourn all trans people who have been murdered because of hatred and violence around the world and a day to recommit ourselves to removing all obstacles to justice; the violence, discrimination, stigma, marginalisation and the hatred which fuels these crimes.

The TMM Project has released data from around the globe for this year and it is devastating.

We quote from them directly below: This is difficult reading so please look after yourself. If you need support we have provided numbers and contacts at the bottom of this post.

"TDoR 2020 data shows that:

350 trans and gender-diverse people were murdered, 6% more than in the TMM update 2019;

98% of those murdered globally were trans women or trans feminine people;

62% of murdered trans people whose occupation is known were sex workers;

People of colour make up 79% of the 28 trans people murdered in the USA;

11 trans people murdered in Europe; 50% were migrants;

82% of all the murders registered happened in Central and South America; 43% in Brazil;

38% of the murders took place on the street and 22% in their own residence;

The average age of those murdered is 31 years old; the youngest being 15 years old.”

With great respect we remember all those beautiful souls who have been murdered because they are trans. They were human beings, with families, friends, communities, children. They had important dreams and hopes for themselves. They had sorrows and triumphs. They loved and were/are worthy of dignity, respect, love, kindness, warmth, generosity, belonging.
