Domenica, 20 novembre, in diversi paesi del mondo si celebrerà per il 13 anno un’altra ricorrenza. Da anni le associazioni transgender internazionali raccolgono dati su questo fenomeno, che registra gli assassinati dal 1990. Si tratta solo dei casi emersi, quelli apparsi sulla stampa o di cui le organizzazioni transessuali riescono a venire a conoscenza per vie dirette.
La statistica non contempla i suicidi: la popolazione transessuale è considerata in tutto il mondo una tra le più esposte al suicidio causato da emarginazione sociale e discriminazione, che si esprime in modo variamente profondo nelle diverse culture e società. Suicidi stimolati da pressioni psicologiche esterne talvolta troppo forti da essere sopportate. In molti di questi casi il suicidio altro non è che un omicidio realizzato da un intera società, da un regime culturale transfobico.
"La discriminazione e l'odio transfobico non producono soltanto cadaveri, ma anche morti viventi, negando alle persone transessuali/transgender il diritto all'autodeterminazione, al lavoro, a quella naturale progettualità necessaria per vivere una vita dignitosa, una cittadinanza alla pari.
Costruendo ostacoli sociali e giuridici che rubano la vita "alla vita"! Nelle mani di uno Stato criminale imputabile tanto quanto la mano di un assassino. I crimini Transfobici sono anche i crimini di Stato!"

Quando il giorno della Memoria Transgender (Nov. 20) si avvicina, ci viene ricordato ancora una volta del perché abbiamo bisogno di questa giornata di sensibilizzazione sulla transfobia e dei suoi risultati spesso violenti: solo a pochi giorni ci viene data la notizia della morte orribile di una adolescente Henry Hilliard, conosciuta come Michele Shelley a Detroit Stati Uniti, il cui corpo carbonizzato è stato scoperto sul lato di una strada.
