This past Monday, November 20 was The Transgender Day of Remembrance. I was afforded the opportunity to take part in a panel discussion, followed by the lighting of candles.
It was somewhat emotional for me to do this. I think each day about people I have known in years past. While they were not subjected to violence, they were victimized emotionally.
It is amazing to me that in the 21st century, people would hate someone because they are different. It's reality.
A sure sign of Christmas happened locally the day after Thanksgiving. Some people at a mall were trampled in a mad stampede to be the first at something or the other. I'm sure this happens in other places, but it's another of the oddities of life I fail to understand. It occurred to me these folks probably had their car radio tuned to music hoping for peace on earth, but woe be unto someone who stands in the way of the new X-Box. Beats the heck out of me.
