River: Transgender Day of Remembrance

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.

I will confess that I didn't know about it until yesterday, when I followed the link from eftychia's QotD to Transgender Day Of Remembrance 2020: Murdered, Suffocated And Burned Alive – 350 Transgender People Killed In 2020.

Not surprisingly, hate crimes against trans people in the US have been on the rise during the last four years, and with a Trumpist majority on the Supreme Court I'm afraid all the protections GLBTQ folk have gained over the last half-century will soon disappear. Things do not look good.

Songs for Saturday: Just go read this

Just go read this: "The Wasted Daughter of the Moon: The Trans Genius of Dave Carter". No, seriously. I'll wait.

Please note that some aspects of the article, especially the author's choice of pronouns, are controversial.

If you haven't listened to all the songs yet, go back and do that. Here's "Mother I Climbed" on YouTube, since the article didn't link to it. Also, go track down all the lyrics (it's not hard).

I don't think I have anything else to say here. Enjoy.
