Within the LGBT rights movement is the Transgender community.  This is often the group that probably has the toughest obstacles on the road to equality issues than any demographic in across LGBT peoples.

They face both prejudices outside the community and even within the community. Some of those prejudices have resulted in violent and murderous hate crimes.

On November 20th,  Transgender Remembrance Day,  efforts will be made to remember those who were victims of such heinous crimes.
