On November 20 I hope you are able to attend a ceremony near you or have a private gathering with friends in memory of those we've lost.

November 20 will soon be here so I thought I'd share this link:

http://www.glaad.org/tdor

and encourage you to attend one of the many ceremonies held around the world. If you can't, then get together with friends and light a candle in memory of those we have lost.

In Indianapolis, our Day of Remembrance will be November 15. The first year I attended was 2009. You can read about it above (I used to post as "aw9725"). Five years later I'm still touched by my experiences and realize how far our society has to go. Especially when I read about what was done to Mayang Prasetyo and the indifferent, almost condescending, treatment her brutal murder received in the press.

So I hope you will participate in whatever way you are able. And maybe, if you are from Indy, I'll see you on the 15th...

This year I thought I'd post this link in memory of all the friends we've lost in 2015.

As of today, October 27, I still don't know when Indianapolis will have their Day of Remembrance or where it will be but will post it when I find out. If anyone is from around here and wants to go, PM me. There are many events held around the world. The "traditional" day for most events is November 20. If you can't go, get together with friends or a least try to spend some quiet time in reflection.

The first time I went was in 2009. You can read about it here.

After much consideration, I guess I’m quite a bit different from most other members on TLB. I like beautiful women. And being in an intimate and loving relationship with one. It really doesn’t matter whether they have a “cock” or not.

I’ve enjoyed some of the friendships I’ve made with others on here. That has kept me active. But I’m not into picking up someone for a brief encounter. Nor is this a fantasy. Probably the closest to my true feelings were expressed in my stories about “Stephanie.” You can visit my blog on WordPress if you are interested.

Tonight I will be going to the TDOR ceremony in Indianapolis. Too bad there’s not moref interest in things like that on this site. There are a lot of real issues facing the LGBT community. Especially in a state like Indiana. I’ve often wondered how I can best contribute to making progress. Maybe I’m on the wrong site?

This is an updated list (as of November 17, 2015) of all the transwomen murdered this year. Also some of the comments show how far we have to go.
