In the past, November 20th has marked the date of transgender day of remembrance, a time to memorialize the many that have lost their lives to suicide and anti-transgender hatred. Though we as a committee realize the importance to remember those who have lost their lives in a battle for their own equality, we believe that to focus only on death provides little, if any, room for growth in the equality of the trans community, and this is where our event differs quite radically from previous events.
With a Transgender Day of Recognition, we a providing a time of recognition that recognizes everyone in the trans community, and is more of a celebration of life than a memorial of death. We feel that this change will provide a much more positive understanding of the trans community as a whole, as it will provide a positive image of everyday life of those living within the trans community, instead of focusing on such negative aspects like death.
After the 1998 murder of Rita Hester, a transgender woman living in Boston, Gwendolyn Ann Smith, along with other organizer; worked to form the "Remembering Our Dead" project, and an accompanying vigil which took place in San Francisco, CA in 1999. In the past ten years, the annual November 20th observance has grown into a national Transgender Day of Remembrance. This day provided an opportunity for communities to come together and mark the passing of transgender or those who perceived to be transgender individuals who have been murdered because of hate, as well as to remember all those who have lost their lives to suicide.
Eleven years later, our committee feels that though we have come a long way, perhaps its time to change our focus from the negative aspects of death, and make this a time to recognize the many who are living and fighting for their equality, as well as a time to celebrate the lives lived of those lost.
Details on the events for TDOR 2010 are soon to come. Facelink.

EVERY WEEK
Now that space is available every hour of the day we want to use it and share it. Thus far our calendar has something sexual for almost every day of the month. When there isn't an event at the collaborative you can bet it's because our community is hosting something sexual elsewhere.
Please check back often for upcoming happenings and become a fan of Birds & Bees, LLC on Facebook, where we'll make sure to update you.
Cheers, B&BLLC
