November 20th is Transgender Remembrance day, founded in 1999 by transgender woman Gwendolyn Anne Smith to "raise awareness and memorialize the transgender victims of senseless hate crimes."
Caitlyn Jenner and transgender advocate Chandi Moore created a PSA for the occasion, urging people to "listen to trans people"s stories, hire a trans person in your company, support a trans student at your school," and "love your trans child.
"Let"s all take action to put an end to hate and violence," Jenner said.
These words are especially relevant to Jenner, who"s been criticized by many as of late, both trans and non-trans. Transparent creator Jill Soloway came to Jenner"s defense.
"Some trans women are really femme, some trans women are really butch," Soloway told the Huffington Post.
"Everybody"s different, and Caitlyn happens to be from a family – I"m a huge Kardashians fan – everybody in that family talks about hair and makeup and clothes all the time.
"It"s their hobby to look good, so that"s where Caitlyn comes from. Whether or not she has a right to do that – of course she has a right to do that. She"s a woman.
"Every woman has a right to be as femme or as not femme as they wish to be. And it"s absolutely awesome that Glamour has honored her."
