I like the concept. While we shouldn’t forget our dead, we also shouldn’t let the dead bury the living. From Pam’s Blend:

On Friday, April 6th, San Diego will be celebrating our fourth annual Transgender Day Of Empowerment (TDOE). Originally conceived by Project STAR Director Tracie O’Brien in 2003, this is an “opposite day” to the international Transgender Day Of Remembrance (TDOR).

TDOR is an important day set aside to annually memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. TDOE, on the other end of the spectrum, is a day set aside for transpeople (like me) and our significant others, friends, families, and allies to celebrate transgender history and future, as well as celebrate our transseniors and our transyouth.
