2020 Honor Roll of Extraordinary People
Every group that needs to fight for their civil rights has extraordinary people who do heroic things for no other reason than it is the right thing to do. I happened to run across an obituary today in the New York Times and decided to down load it. When I googled “NYT Transgender obit” I was shocked to discover that in 2020 the transgender community lost four remarkable people.
I am noting their names and quotes that meant a lot to me and I have included the NYT site reference for you to read if you choose. I think these exceptional people are worth a moment of our time to read their obituaries in full.
As I battle with my own transgender challenges, fears and doubts, they have provided me with the special inspiration I need to overcome the seeming monumental obstacles in my life.
My “mountains” are mere mole hills in comparison.
They are my heroines.
