There’s no easy way to talk about Transgender Day of Remembrance. It’s a day that carries so much grief, and also a call to look closer at the systems that keep failing trans people around the world.

In this episode of Gender in Focus, Kai and El unpack the history and meaning of TDOR, explore why it’s not just a U.S. issue, and reveal the gaps in data that hide the true scale of violence against trans people in Canada and beyond. They also share ways allies can show up with commitment and purpose - not just on TDOR, but every day.

If you’ve ever wondered how to talk about Trans Day of Remembrance at work, school or in your community, or how to move beyond performative gestures to real allyship, this episode offers thoughtful guidance, grounded insight, and hope for change.
