Transgender Day of Remembrance From T. Thorn Coyle,

...today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Far, far, too many of our brothers and sisters have been murdered this year. My heart goes out to all who grieve.

Here, again, is the prayer written by Tristissima last year (hir words in italics, my additions not, with a few new ones this year):
Hermaphroditus, look at the names of the dead.
Ardhanarisvara, read the names of the dead.
Melek Ta'us, remember the names of the dead.
Eris, look at the names of the dead.
Antinous, read the names of the dead.
Hoor-paar-kraat, remember the names of the dead.
Tlazolteotl, look at the names of the dead.
Azathoth, look at the names of the dead.
Pomba-Gira, read the names of the dead.
Inanna, remember the names of the dead.
Baphomet, look at the names of the dead.
Avalokitesvara, read the names of the dead.
Faro, remember the names of the dead.
Ymir, look at the names of the dead.
Indra, read the names of the dead.
Ometeotl, remember the names of the dead.

What is remembered, lives."
