Today was the Manchester transgender day of remembrance at the Sackville Park memorial; there were between 60 and 70 people there and the ceremony (which was totally non denominational) and started at 3.45 pm took around 1hour.
It started with a moving poem...and then there were readings by various people of all the names of known transgendered people who have been killed or died for their beliefs and life style over the past 50 years. The ceremony finished with a short poem and a statement that all of these names are the only ones that are known (the vast majority were Spanish type names) and that all of us should remember the dead, including those whose names we do not know, who are now at peace.
I left a small bunch of flowers for all the dead, with the simple inscription
In Memoriam
For all Transgendered people who have died for their beliefs and way of life
