But there&#8217;s a very real chance that I have, and simply not known that they were transgender (they didn&#8217;t know at the time, they didn&#8217;t trust me enough to tell me, it was none of my business, etc.) before they died. (I&#8217;ve also not known very many people who have died in these manners, either.)<\/p>\n<p>But I do know and count as friends a number of transgender (including genderqueer, genderfluid, etc.) people today, and I&#8217;m very glad to know each of them, and to know them as they are. As horrible as this world can be, I hope that through ever-increasing education, visibility, and acceptance, each of them can continue to be true to themselves, and to stay safe and healthy, and are people I know for a long time to come.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12638\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12638\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/trans-day_web_e.png\" alt=\"Transgender Day of Remembrance\" width=\"480\" height=\"251\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/trans-day_web_e.png 480w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/trans-day_web_e-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12638\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Transgender Day of Remembrance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know and count as friends a number of transgender (including genderqueer, genderfluid, etc.) people today, and I&#8217;m very glad to know each of them, and to know them as they are.
