For those who may be interested - we believe we will have all our backlog queue for 2014 entered by around 5pm EST today. The list is sobering this year and at the same time we still have many that have never been reported anywhere that we may never know of. WE WILL NOT BE PUBLISHING A TDOR LIST from the TVTP. Individuals who wish a listing can go to the link below. We continue to get dozens of reports in and we continue to input for investigation as quickly as we can. We will however be putting out an overall report. If you desire to get a list of names, the instructions are HERE: transviolencetracker.org/index.php/articles/109-getting-a-transgender-day-of-remembrance-list-from-the-tvtp The number of deaths reported in the past year is sobering ... 269 from the 25 countries from which data was received. Thats not the entire world ... just 25 countries. 269 trans people, murdered by other people. Mostly women. Mostly women of color. Begs the question: Why is it that people think being trans is a choice? Who willingly chooses to be a part of a demographic mostly likely to be murdered by other people?
