Is Transgender Awareness Week a thing our Trans-Comrades care about or is this one of those lib movement-coopting things? (hexbear.net)

I didn't see anyone mention it here or over on blahaj and the first I've heard of it was from a massive lib I know that just recently came out. So I was wondering.

i am cis (quoting text mentioning violence and suicide)

I thought it was transgender day of remembrance. I found out about it from a blog post linking to this website: https://tdor.xyz/

It says:

On Transgender Day of Rememberance, we come together to read the names of those who have been lost to violence and suicide in the last year.

As we read each name, we will light a candle for the person who we have lost.

This year, the list contains 67 souls. Together, we can keep them in our hearts and keep fighting against transphobia.

Each year, this list is too long. Someday, we will not need this list. Someday, we will all be accepted.

The week is supposed to build up to remembrance day, apparently.
