2017 Trans Day of Remembrance
For many years, the trans community’s one event was a memorial service and while we now celebrate numerous aspects of trans lives, November 20th remains the trans community’s oldest community tradition. What follows is the 2017 Remembrance Booklet produced by the Transgender Foundation of America’s TDOR data collection project: Violence against trans people remains a defining aspect of trans lives and the Trans Day of Remembrance is our community’s opportunity to bear witness to end-result of the anti-trans hate trans people face, as a community. Today you are encouraged to seek out others in the trans community and together, honor the memory of those we’ve lost this year as the result of anti-trans bias. Worldwide data collected by the Transgender Foundation of America’s TDOR data collection project.

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“2017 Trans Day of Remembrance” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to transgender identity and history, while also engaging community and organizing. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.
Historical significance
The article may have historical value because it explicitly interprets or preserves material concerning transgender identity and history. Published in 2017 by Transadvocate.com, it can be read both for the history it describes and as evidence of how community and organizing was framed at that moment.
Policy significance
The article’s strongest policy connection is research ethics and data governance. It links that institutional frame to transgender identity and history and community and organizing, making it potentially useful for tracing how an argument moves from description or history into law, regulation, administration, or public practice.
