 Founded in 1998 by advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith, TDOR began to commemorate members of the transgender community who were lost that year to transphobic acts of violence. Ann Smith has said, “With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.”
