    This Transgender Day of Remembrance #TDOR, the Cen This Transgender Day of Remembrance #TDOR, the Center especially mourns the loss of 53 known #transgender and non-binary lives in the U.S.—making 2021 our nation's deadliest year on record for the #trans community since data collection began. “It is critical to mourn, remember, and honor these lives lost as we address the uptick of blatant anti-trans and racist rhetoric in our communities, in media, and in legislatures nationwide," said Center Executive Director Joe Hollendoner. "While we have made great strides in transgender rights and visibility, awareness without understanding can have deadly consequences for trans and non-binary folks." Of the 375 trans people murdered worldwide in the last year, nine out of 10 (96%) were trans women or transfeminine people, and more than half (58%) were sex workers. The average age of those murdered is 30 years old; the youngest being 13. “Every time a transgender or non-binary person is reported killed, my heart aches. Undoubtedly, someone in our #LosAngeles trans community knows at least one of these 53 known victims in the United States—and that should never be the case,” said Trans Wellness Center Program Manager Mariana Marroquin. “We need to do more than bring awareness to these vicious deaths. We must act on preventing more deaths through community education and compassion. At the Trans Wellness Center, our clients tell us the horrible acts of violence and discrimination they encounter every day, stories which many of us are very familiar with. We will continue to provide them with the support and the safe space until every trans and non-binary person is healthy, equal, and complete. Rest in power to those taken from us too soon.” 🙏 The following programs are among those we offer specifically for the transgender community: • TransWellnessCenter: mytranswellness.org • Transgender Health Program: lalgbtcenter.org/health-services/medical-services/transgender-health-program • Transgender Economic Empowerment Project: lalgbtcenter.org/TEEP • Trans* Lounge (Groups, Classes and Events): translounge.org • TransPride.LA: transpride.lalgbtcenter.org Read our full statement at bitly.com/TDORLA #LGBT #LGBTQ
    “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” #AudreLorde, a self-described “#black, #lesbian, #mother, #warrior, #poet,” devoted her significant talent and energies to explore the intersection of race, sexuality, economic justice, illness, and disability. Born in #NYC to immigrant parents, Lorde developed a deep affinity for the written word at a young age. Throughout her career, Lorde published 18 books of essays and poetry. In these texts, she laid bare her most intimate desires and radical hopes for a world without oppression. Through her #poetry and prose, Lorde challenged the white, heterosexual mythical norm and demanded that all parts of her identity be honored and acknowledged. Her work received multiple awards and accolades including the American Book Award and the appointment as Poet Laureate of New York. At 44, Lorde was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy. Six years later, her cancer returned and metastasized. During the last years of her life, Lorde confronted her cancer through words, exploring her fears while at the same time challenging notions of illness, disability, and death. Lorde died at the age of 58. In one of her final elegies, Lorde exclaimed: “I am listening to what fear teaches. I will never be gone. I am a scar, a report from the frontlines, a talisman, a resurrection. A rough place on the chin of complacency.” At the Center, we remember the radical spirit that Lorde embodied. In her honor, our women’s health program bears her great name. For more info about our Audre Lorde Health Program or women’s health services, visit audrelorde.lalgbtcenter.org
