1. This week, news emerged that former trans athlete, student at Middlebury, and advocate for trans rights, Lia Smith, was found dead.
Her death was ruled a suicide.
But I argue that it's not only a suicide. Every trans suicide is a murder by those in power.

Today is transgender day of remembrance. GLAAD defines this as "an annual observance on 11/20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence." Our transgender colleagues, friends, students, family members need us to stand up for them.
