Aujourd’hui, à l’occasion de la #JournéeDuSouvenirTrans, nous nous souvenons de toutes les personnes trans courageuses qui nous ont été arrachées bien trop tôt.
Pour honorer leur mémoire, nous devons nous engager à briser les cycles de haine et de violence anti-trans.

Today, on #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance, we remember the courageous trans people who were taken far too soon.
To honour their legacies, we must commit ourselves to break the cycles of anti-trans hate and violence.

Today is Intersex Day of Solidarity and Remembrance. It's an opportunity to highlight the continued struggles faced by intersex people globally, from unnecessary medical intervention to stigma. We all deserve to be treated with dignity, and live a life free from discrimination.
