Dear community,
Today, on Trans Day of Remembrance, we gather to honor the trans and gender-diverse people whose lives were taken from us this year. Each loss ripples through our communities, not as distant stars, but as threads in a web of relationships, care, and connection that shape our everyday lives. Their absence is felt in the spaces they loved, the people they held close, and the futures they should have had.
Anti-trans violence is never isolated [[link removed]] [[link removed]] . It is tied to systems that deny care, restrict movement, police our bodies, and punish our existence. This year’s report documents fifty-eight known losses, including those taken by violence, those who died by suicide, and others who passed from natural causes. But numbers alone cannot hold the fullness of who they were or the communities forever changed by their loss.

In remembering them, we also recommit to telling our stories with accuracy and dignity. How trans lives, and trans deaths, are reported shapes how the world understands us. Our Journalist Resource Series: Guide for Reporting on Anti-Trans Violence [[link removed]] offers tools for naming the systemic roots of violence, resisting sensationalism, and uplifting solutions grounded in justice and care.
As we mourn, we honor.
As we honor, we organize.
In solidarity,
Transgender Law Center
