It’s clear many college officials still haven’t gotten the message.

Tomorrow, November 20th, is Transgender Day of Remembrance ( ). TDOR is an annual event held to commemorate the lives that were lost in acts of violence against the trans community and to celebrate trans identity, trans individuals, and the lives they live.

TDOR is held in November to honor Rita Hester, whose murder in 1998 sparked the “Remembering Our Dead” web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Rita Hester’s murder – like most trans murder cases – has yet to be solved. Although not every person represented during the Day of Remembrance is self-identified as transgender/trans, each was a victim of violence based on bias against transgender and gender non-conforming people.

Our trans and non-conforming brothers and sisters remain some of the most invisible and vulnerable individuals on campus and in the community at large. What are some ways we at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa can celebrate and better support transgender students?
