Description

Depicted in the piece above is a story I made up. Unfortunately, it is not at all fictional. Stories like this happen in real life, and they happen FAR too often. Statistically speaking, a transgendered person is murdered every month.

This piece is dedicated to the all transgendered people who have been murdered simply for trying to themselves. They are not trying to hurt anyone. They simply wish to pursue happiness for themselves; a right that ALL humans are entitled to. So, why does this keep happening? Why is Alicia's fictional story so heartrendingly real?

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. I ask you to at least take a moment out of your day to just reflect on this... or if you know someone (besides me) who is transgendered, just give them a hug... or if you ARE transgendered, just be strong and don't be afraid of who you are.

Some days I wish I could get away from my current life even if it meant death later down the road. But I have absolutely no place to go.
