2021 Transgender Day of Remembrance

Editor’s note: Today’s story, which commemorates the Transgender Day of Remembrance, includes descriptions of violence and bigotry against transgender people. The Wild Hunt believes it is important to our mission to acknowledge, report on, and remember the victims of this violence, given the importance of transgender people to the Pagan movement, but reader discretion is advised.

TWH – Yesterday,  Angel Naira was found dead from gunshot injuries in her Aliquippa, PA home. Police found her body when responding to a 911 call seeking a welfare check for Angel.

“A female says a [person] is unresponsive. Not breathing. Said the apartment was broken into,” said the 911 dispatch audio. “The apartment was broken into. Some sort of disturbance there.”

Angel is remembered along with hundreds of others today on International Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR). 2021 has marked the deadliest year for trans and gender-diverse people since Transgender Europe began collecting data for its Transrespect versus Transphobia Worldwide (TvT) research project for Trans Murder Monitoring.

Overall, this year saw a 7% increase in murders of trans and gender-diverse persons.  Murders of trans people in the United States doubled from last year, the report said.

“Data indicate a worrying trend when it comes to the intersections of misogyny, racism, xenophobia, and hate towards sex workers,” noted TvT, “with the majority of victims being Black and migrant trans women of colour, and trans sex workers.” They also that most cases go unreported. When they are reported, cases often receive very little attention.

Brazil continues to lead the list of countries with the most murders of trans and gender-diverse persons, followed by Mexico and then the United States. Cases from Greece, Kazakhstan, and Malawi were reported for the first time.

The 2021 data from the Transrespect project continues to expose the scope of the tragedy and the challenges faced by the transgender community. According to the report:

  • 75 trans and gender-diverse people were murdered, 7% more than in the TMM update 2020
  • 96% of those murdered globally were trans women or transfeminine people;
  • 58% of murdered trans people whose occupation is known were sex workers;
  • people of color make up 89% of the 53 trans people murdered;
  • 43% of the trans people murdered in Europe were migrants;
  • 70% of all the murders registered happened in Central and South America, with 33% in Brazil;
  • 36% of the murders took place on the street and 24% in their own residence;
  • The average age of those murdered is 30 years old;
  • The youngest was 13 years old and the oldest 68 years old.

COVID 19 was listed as a cause of death because of co-occurring forms of violence or oppression of dignity. COVID-19 affects everyone but social differences and inequalities have been revealed and intensified by the pandemic, including exposing gaps in the legal and systems that could offer protection to trans and gender-diverse people.

“As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said TvT, “as well as growing racism and police brutality, the lives of trans and gender-diverse people are at even greater risk.”

“Data is a testimony of how COVID-19 is disproportionately impacting trans people worldwide, especially those most marginalised, such as Black and women of colour, sex workers, migrants, youth, and poor,” they added.

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of transgender and gender-diverse people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.

Today we honor the memory of those who perished because they led authentic lives. We take today to reflect on the powerful, magical resilience of the trans community.

We say the names of those we lost in the last year for their peace, for their justice and to end the violence.
