Workshop Explores Challenges Facing Transgender Community

Recognized annually on November 20, Transgender Day of Remembrance honors the memory of those murdered because of anti-transgender violence. So far in 2015, 22 transgender and gender non-conforming people have been killed in the U.S., and 19 of these were trans women of color. At the start of the Transgender @ Tech workshop, 22 Georgia Tech employees and students participated in a candlelight vigil to remember those who were lost to anti-transgender violence in the past year.
