“On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourn the people who lost their lives to transphobia and anti-transgender violence this year and remember what those people meant to their loved ones and their communities. In a nation that prides itself on freedom, every individual deserves the right to live authentically and without fear. The Biden-Harris administration stands firmly with all transgender people and envisions a future grounded in equity and acceptance. Let us come together in love and solidarity to honor those we have lost by building a world where everyone can live safely, happily and free of prejudice.” – HHS Assistant Secretary for Health ADM Rachel Levine
