In Memoriam
This page is intended to mourn, honor, and remember our fallen transgender sibilings. May they rest in peace.
Names are sorted by year of death.
Note: I do not seek out names deliberately. When I come across names, I will add them. If others give me names to add, I will add them. If I find others to keep track of the names, I add those resources. It saddens me to learn names. It breaks my hard to read causes of death. I do not wish to discuss the dead, but will preserve as many names as I am able to out of respect, and education.
Names should not be thrown around during arguments, online or not. Names are not weapons. Names are people. If you did not know the person, who are you to throw around zir name as though ze wanted you to use it in such a manner. I hate coming across names misspelled in comments sections being used in discussions that are not attatched to the names.
If you find yourself using a name that is not yours, of someone you can barely remember the cause of death for to win an argument with a stranger. Stop. Just stop. Stop. Take up woodworking. I do not care. Anything would be better than doing that. Show some respect.
Adding #firstname_lastname to the URL currently displaying this page will hyperlink anyone directly to the names on this page. Names below are listed Last Name, First Name. They are sorted by year of death in alphabetical order by last name. The number provided in parentheses is age at death, alongside relevant links with information that may be upsetting to some readers.
