Sad, but very important to remember them. Thanks for writing this Thorn.

i sat staring at this comment section this morning, wondering what i could write here. i can think of nothing that conveys my dismay, or the weight i feel in my shoulders, back and heart. these people who spout religion, love, and that we must accept people of colour, of religion ... yet this dirty secret is just fine in the eyes of many. 

it isn't

Thank you, tim. Trans women of colour are also over-represented in the statistics, so there's a fair bit of racism and misogyny that goes into this as well. It's horrifying, and I'm afraid for my trans family. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. It means a lot.

I’m grateful for your poem. It cuts through the numbness and clatter of the world. You take time to grieve, and this poem helps me to do the same. More importantly, I’ll remember.

Thank you, Parker. I'm glad if my words can give you something. Even if it's something sad.
