En 2018 have counted a total of 369 crimes against transgender people
GAYLES.TV.- El 20N is International Day of Trans MemoryIn English Trans Day of Remembrance. A day dedicated to the memory of those who have been murdered, victims of transphobia, hatred and fear of transgender and non-conventional gender people, as well as to remember the continuous violence suffered by the community tranny.
The origin of this memorial goes back to 1998 when Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a transgender activist performed an act in memory of the murder of Rita Hester, an African-American transgender woman murdered in Massachusetts. In response to his murder and the little respect that the media showed the victim, grief and outrage provoked a vigil the following Friday (December 4), in which some 250 people participated. The vigil inspired not only the International Day of Trans Memory, but also the Internet project Remembering our dead. Since then it is tradition to read the names of people who have died from transphobic attacks every year.
According to Trans Persons Observatory Murdered, riding a 2018 a total of 369 crimes against transgender people, 44 cases more than the previous year. Most of the homicides have occurred in Brazil (167), Mexico (71) and the United States (28).
On his blog «L'armari Obert" the historian Leopold Estapé retrieves examples such as Heliogábalo, a Roman emperor who wanted to be a woman and came to be castrated by changing gender. Margarida Borràs, who was hanged at 1460 in the Market Square of the city of Valencia. Don Antonio de Erauso, Born Catherine of Erausowho got the Urban Pope VIII I gave him a license to dress and live like a man. Mary Jones, better known as The Man Monster, who in 1836 was arrested by the police accused of being a pickpocket and prostitute. Or the case of Sonia Rescalvo Zafra, transsexual murdered in the Barcelona pre-Olympic in the Parc de la Ciutadella by groups of Nazis skins who went out to "patrol at night."

I would also like to remember the sucidios of transgender minors by a society that does not accept the difference
It is certainly not wrong to be what you want to be, but in the way that culture treats people who are not equal to them, or to the majority.
Feeling marginalized, stigmatized and isolated also "leads many children to that level of hopelessness and helplessness, which is one of the things that can fuel depression and the use of substances"
Thanks for your comments, Gina, you are absolutely right.
