Capital City Pride is celebrating Transgender Awareness Week! Beginning November 13 through November 19, this is a week to raise visibility about transgender people, their unique experiences and address issues facing the trans community. The week leads up to Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day to honor trans and gender non-conforming people who were lost to fatal violence as a result of transphobia.
The first Transgender Day of Remembrance began as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a trans woman who was killed in 1998, and commemorated all the trans people lost to violence that year.
This year we are sharing some favorite movies and tv shows to watch during Trans Awareness Week.
