Friday 20 November 2009
This Friday Daisy Dube will be remembered. Daisy was shot and killed in Yeoville in 2008 because of her Gender identity. She and three drag queens out for the night stopped and asked three men in a car to stop calling them "isitabane." (A Sepedi slur used for LGBT people). Her cold blooded murder was a result of transphobia. She was shot and killed for defending her identity.
Friday 20 November 2009 is TDOR - Transgender Day of Remembrance. The day is commemorated around the world as a way to highlight and end violence against trangender people. The Day draws attention to the many nameless and faceless victims that the media never hears of – stories that shame us as a society and as human beings.
